Additional quotes by Charles Churchill

Keep up appearances; there lies the test.
The world will give thee credit for the rest.

Not without Art, but yet to Nature true,
She charms the town with humour just, yet new.

When fiction rises pleasing to the eye,
Men will believe, because they love the lie;
But Truth herself, if clouded with a frown,
Must have some solemn proof to pass her down.

Men the most infamous are fond of fame, And those who fear not guilt yet start at shame. - Charles Churchill
