Famous quotes containing the words fraud and/or scandal:
“Things gained through unjust fraud are never secure.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“Gossip isn’t scandal and it’s not merely malicious. It’s chatter about the human race by lovers of the same. Gossip is the tool of the poet, the shop-talk of the scientist, and the consolation of the housewife, wit, tycoon and intellectual. It begins in the nursery and ends when speech is past.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
