The more things change, the more they stay the same.
– Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, French critic, novelist (1808-1890)

– Charles Dickens, British novelist (1812-1870)
The fondness we have for self furnishes another long rank of prejudices.
– Isaac Watts, British hymnodist (1674-1748)
The hypocrite would not be at so much pains to put on the appearance of virtue if he did not know it was the most proper and effectual means to gain the love and esteem of mankind.
– Joseph Addison, British essayist, poet (1672-1719)
It’s often hard to be honest when we think the truth will be used to our disadvantage, but to a person of character there’s no choice.
