There's got to be a variant that is a 2x2 matrix of this:

Lie to others, lie to yourself (spiral together; either fantastically poor or spectacularly rich)

Lie to others, tell yourself the truth (manipulation, morally broke, but materially rich)

Tell others the truth, tell yourself the truth (integrity, barely scrape by)

Tell others the truth, lie to yourself (be used by the system, usually end up poorly)
