"If you suspect someone of lying - pretend to believe him: he will lie without care and expose himself. And if the truth he wanted to hide crept into his words - pretend not to believe him; he will also tell the rest of the truth.

If you suspect someone of lying - pretend to believe him: he will lie without care and expose himself. And if the truth he wanted to hide crept into his words - pretend not to believe him; he will also tell the rest of the truth.
"Romanian
"Dacă bănuiești pe cineva de minciună - fă-te că-l crezi: el va minți fără grijă și se va da de gol. Iar dacă în cuvintele lui s-a strecurat adevărul pe care dorea să-l ascundă - fă-te că nu-l crezi; el va spune și restul adevărului."
