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

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

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

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

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

He that will cheat you at play, will cheat you any way.

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

And, after all, what is a lie? ’Tis but the truth in masquerade.

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

Cheating is more honorable than stealing.
