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

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

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.

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

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

Children and fools cannot lie. 

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

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

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