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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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