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

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

Your piping-hot lie is the best of lies.

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

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

There is much difference between imitating a good man, and counterfeiting him.

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

Men were born to lie, and women to believe them.

Children and fools cannot lie. 

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