Simplified Meaning:

It's saying that tricking or lying to people can work sometimes, but it won't work all the time with everyone. For example, if a person spreads a false rumor, some people might believe it at first, and some might believe it occasionally. However, eventually, the truth will come out, and not everyone will be fooled. People will start to see through the lies. So, trying to deceive everyone, all the time, just isn't possible. It's better to be honest because lies have a way of being discovered, and it can damage trust permanently.
