A Thorough-paced Knave Will Rarely Quarrel With One Whom He Can Cheat: His Revenge Is Plunder; Therefore He Is Usually The Most Forgiving Of Beings, Upon The Principle That If He Come To An Open Rupture, He Must Defend Himself; And This Does Not Suit A Man Whose Vocation It Is To Keep His Hands In The Pocket Of Another.

Is There Anything More Tedious Than The Often Repeated Tales Of The Old And Forgetful?

What Would You Do If You Knew For Sure That No One Would Ever Find Out?

The Wisest Man May Be Wiser To-day Than He Was Yesterday, And To-morrow Than He Is To-day. Total Freedom From Change Would Imply Total Freedom From Error; But This Is The Prerogative Of Omniscience Alone.

Knavery Is Supple, And Can Bend, But Honesty Is Firm And Upright And Yields Not.
