"Say not my art is fraud - all live by seeming.
The beggar begs with it, and the gay courtier
Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming;
The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier
Will eke with it his service. - All admit it.
All practise it; and he who is content
With showing what he is, shall have small credit
In church, or camp, or state. - So wags the world."
"Old play", preface to Chapter 36, Ivanhoe,
Sir Walter Scott, 1819
It still does, Walt. 200 years on, and getting worse all the time. Great book.
