Charles Dickens Quotes

Men Who Are Thoroughly False And Hollow, Seldom Try To Hide Those Vices From Themselves; And Yet In The Very Act Of Avowing Them, They Lay Claim To The Virtues They Feign Most To Despise. 'For,' Say They, 'this Is Honesty, This Is Truth. All Mankind Are Like Us, But They Have Not The Candour To Avow It.' The More They Affect To Deny The Existence Of Any Sincerity In The World, The More They Would Be Thought To Possess It In Its Boldest Shape; And This Is An Unconscious Compliment To Truth On The Part Of These Philosophers, Which Will Turn The Laugh Against Them To The Day Of Judgment.
