"A fool often fails because he thinks what is difficult is easy, a wise man because he thinks what is easy is difficult" — John Churton Collins

When one is in love one always begins by deceiving oneself, and one always ends by deceiving others. This is what the world calls a romance

Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast.”

Whoever has trusted a woman has trusted deceivers

Profit is sweet, even if it comes from deception

Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves

Lawyer: One skilled in circumvention of the law
