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

Children and fools cannot lie. 

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

Credulity forges more miracles than trickery could invent.

Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.

Life is the art of being well deceived.

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

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

Cheating is more honorable than stealing. 

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

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

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

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