When a person cannot deceive himself the chances are against

Summary

This quote suggests that if an individual cannot fool or deceive themselves, it becomes highly unlikely for them to successfully deceive others. The capacity for self-awareness and honesty plays a significant role in the ability to manipulate or deceive others. If someone is genuinely self-aware and in tune with their thoughts and intentions, it becomes much more challenging for them to engage in deceitful behavior as their inherent honesty prevents them from engaging in such manipulative actions.
