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

There is much difference between imitating a good man, and counterfeiting him.

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

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

Children and fools cannot lie. 

Cheating is more honorable than stealing. 

In most cases men willingly believe what they wish.

Your piping-hot lie is the best of lies.

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

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