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

If you steal, do not steal too much at a time. You may be arrested. Steal cleverly, little by little.

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

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

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

In most cases men willingly believe what they wish.

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

Your piping-hot lie is the best of lies.

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

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