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

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.

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

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

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

In most cases men willingly believe what they wish.

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

Life is the art of being well deceived.

Cheating is more honorable than stealing.
