A cunning mind emphatically delights in its own cunning, and is the ready prey of cunning.

Anna Brownell Jameson

"As I think I told you once before," said I, "it is you who have been, in your greed and cunning, against all the world. It may be profitable to you to reflect, in future, that there never were greed and cunning in the world yet, that did not do too much, and overreach themselves. It is as certain as death."

Charles Dickens

Don't think so much of your own Cunning, as to forget other Men's; a Cunning Man is overmatched by a cunning Man and a Half.

Benjamin Franklin

All my own experience of life teaches me the contempt of cunning, not the fear. The phrase "profound cunning," has always seemed to me a contradiction in terms. I never knew a cunning mind which was not either shallow, or on some point diseased.

Anna Brownell Jameson

Cold & cunning come from the north: But cunning sans wisdom is nothing worth.

Benjamin Franklin

Self-love is more cunning than the most cunning man in the world.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

In business be as able as you can, but do not be cunning; cunning is the dark sanctuary of incapacity.

Lord Chesterfield

The very cunning conceal their cunning; the indifferently shrewd boast of it.

Christian Nestell Bovee

Cunning has effect from the credulity of others, rather than from the abilities of those who are cunning. It requires no extraordinary talents to lie and deceive.

Samuel Johnson

Whoever appears to have much cunning has in reality very little; being deficient in the essential article, which is, to hide cunning.

Henry Home, Lord Kames

Do not be held a cheat, even though it is impossible to live today without being one. Let your greatest cunning lie in covering up what looks like cunning.

Baltasar Gracian

Wealth: A cunning device of Fate whereby men are made captive, and burdened with responsibilites from which only Death can file their fetters.

Elbert Hubbard

Cunning leads to knavery. It is but a step from one to the other, and that very slippery. Only lying makes the difference; add that to cunning, and it is knavery.

Ovid

The animals to whom nature has given the faculty we call cunning know always when to use it, and use it wisely; but when man descends to cunning he blunders and betrays.

Thomas Paine

It is a pity that, commonly, more care is had--yea, and that among very wise men--to find out rather a cunning man for their horse than a cunning man for their children.

Roger Ascham

Those who have the most cunning affect all their lives to condemn cunning; that they may make use of it on some great occasion, and to some great end.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld
