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.

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

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

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

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

You can put wings on a pig, but you don’t make it an eagle.

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

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

Life is the art of being well deceived.
