"False face must hide what the false..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“New customs, Though they be never so ridiculous (Nay, let em be unmanly), yet are followed.”

“Who would be so mocked with glory, or to liveBut in a dream of friendship,To have his pomp and all what state compoundsBut only painted, like his varnished friends?”

“Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed The dear repose for limbs with travel tired; But then begins a journey in my head To work my mind, when body's work's expir'd: For then my thoughts-from far where I abide- Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee, And keep my drooping eyelids open wide, Looking on darkness which the blind do see: Save that my soul's imaginary sight Presents thy shadow to my sightless view, Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night, Makes black night beauteous and her old face new. Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, For thee, and for myself no quiet find.”

“The only person who is a worse liar than a faith healer is his patient.”

“A sheep in sheep's clothing.”

“Imagination is the deceptive part in man, the mistress of error and falsehood.”

“She denied none of it aloud, and agreed to none of it in private.”

“I wish to become rich, so that I can instruct the people and glorify honest poverty a little, like those kind hearted, fat, benevolent people do.”

“There is a certain satisfaction in coming down to the lowest ground of politics, for we get rid of cant and hypocrisy.”
