Saying about deceiving

[ruth1964]

Good evening everyone....would anyone know the correct wording for a saying which I think goes something like "those that try to deceive"
Many thanks

[The Builder]

Are you thinking of this maybe........Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive

[ruth1964]

That's the one....thankyou so much

Have a lovely evening x

Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive

Sir Walter Scott

And how much better is our style
When we have practised for a while.

Dorothy Parker, (who else!)
