Cheats never prosper

PDF Print E-mail

Proverbial Meaning: Be honest, don’t cheat in games or life.

Literal Origins: People who cheat cannot become wealthy as they are usually found out and, in some cases, locked away in prison.

Common Usage: This is now a virtually unheard of proverb, probably due to the more popular and similar meaning: Honesty is the best policy.
