"The liar and the thief rejoice in their first year
only."
This saying deals with a belief that those who commit
wrongdoings such as lying, stealing etc, only enjoy their actions for a
short while.
It is an indication that if you commit wrongful actions
eventually they will catch up to you, and you will be caught and punished for
them.
