There was no treachery too base for the world to commit.

Grow your tree of falsehood from a small grain of truth.

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

The poor man is ruined as soon as he begins to ape the rich.

Alongside all swindlers the state now stands there as swindler-in-chief.

We have to distrust each other. It is our only defense against betrayal.

Your piping-hot lie is the best of lies.

Honesty, for me, is usually the worst policy imaginable.

It was the men I deceived the most that I loved the most.

If you find excrement somewhere in the village, the chief was the one who put it there.

In most cases men willingly believe what they wish.

Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.

He that will cheat you at play, will cheat you any way.
