Quotes about Fraud


No letters after your name are ever going to be a total guarantee of competence any more than they are a guarantee against fraud. Improving competence involves continuing professional development ... That is the really crucial thing, not just passing an examination.

Colette Bowe

Money is your means of survival. The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers your scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you'll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money?

Ayn Rand

Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.

Jean-luc Godard

There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.

Frederick W. Robertson

A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep.

Salman Rushdie

Social justice is a semantic fraud from the same stable as People's Democracy.

C. Curran

Force and fraud are in war the two cardinal virtues.

Thomas Hobbes

There is no greater fraud than a promise not kept.

Gaelic Proverb

Secrecy is the badge of fraud.

Sir John Chadwick

The fiction pleased; our generous train complies, Nor fraud mistrusts in virtue's fair disguise. The work she plyed, but, studious of delay, Each following night reversed the toils of day.

Homer ("Smyrns of Chios")
