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

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

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

Children and fools cannot lie. 

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

Alongside all swindlers the state now stands there as swindler-in-chief.

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.

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

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