One ought to have a good memory when he has told a lie.

A liar is always lavish of oaths. [Fr., Un menteur est toujours prodigue de serments.]

A good memory is needed once we have lied. [Fr., Il faut bonne memoire apres qu'on a menti.]

We triumph without glory when we conquer without danger.

False encouragement is a kind of theft: it steals time, energy, and motivation a person could put toward some other purpose.

The tricky part of any lie is trying to figure out how you'd behave if you were innocent.
