Summary

This quote suggests that being genuinely good at deceiving others requires claiming to always tell the truth. It implies that those who openly admit to being skilled liars are likely boasting rather than being proficient in the art of deception. Skilled liars would understand the importance of maintaining the facade of honesty in order to effectively manipulate and mislead others. Therefore, according to the quote, a truly skilled liar would never claim to be good at lying, as they would always insist on being completely honest.
