Anyone who’s never experienced the pleasure of betrayal doesn’t know what pleasure is.

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

Children and fools cannot lie. 

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

An honest man is all right even if he’s an idiot…but a crook must have brains.

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

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

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

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

Life is the art of being well deceived.
