Counterfeit Goods

Famous quotes containing the words counterfeit and/or goods:

    It is not in the power of even the most crafty dissimulation to conceal love long, where it really is, nor to counterfeit it long where it is not.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    The goods of fortune ... were never intended to be talked out of the world.—But as virtue and true wisdom lie in the middle of extremes,—on one hand, not to neglect and despise riches, so as to forget ourselves,—and on the other, not to pursue and love them so, as to forget God;Mto have them sometimes in our heads,—but always something more important in our hearts.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
