You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

We are easily duped by those we love.

No mask like open truth to cover lies, As to go naked is the best disguise.

Man is practised in disguise; He cheats the most discerning eyes.

With extramarital courtship, the deception was prolonged where it had been ephemeral, necessary where it had been frivolous, conspiratorial where it had been lonely.

It is more tolerable to be refused than deceived.

The words of the double-tongued are as if they were harmless, but they reach even to the inner part of the bowels. Praise be to the Lord, who distinguishes our cause and delivers us from the unjust and deceitful man.

Dishonesty is the raw material not of quacks only, but also in great part of dupes.

Without some dissimulation no business can be carried on at all.

There are some frauds so well conducted that it would be stupidity not to be deceived by them.
