Secretary," said the Earl, "there was never a falser creature, a more seditious wretch, than Wilkes. He is a villain, a devil, without faith or religion." As for Buckhurst himself, it is unnecessary to say a word in his defence.
The truth, if read by the light of man's imperfect understanding, would have been falser to him than any falsehood. It would have been truth no longer. Fearless himself, he could not understand the fears felt by others; and this was perhaps his greatest sympathetic weakness.
The fault was not in her; it lay in the dulled eye of the swiftly deteriorating man, which grew less and less capable of seeing things as they were, and transmitted falser and falser impressions of them.

'When I consider life, 'tis all a cheat, Yet fool'd with hope, men favour the deceit: Trust on, and think to-morrow will repay; To-morrow's falser than the former day; Lies worse; and while it says we shall be blest With some new joys, cuts off what we possest.
Remember that if thou playest false, other men will play falser with thee and bring thee to thy ruin.
