Sincerity's Rarity

S. S. Knight, Human Life, 1910, ch, vii., Love, p. 158:

There is almost no trouble and pains which people will not take to make the world think that they are something other than they really are, when but a fraction of the cost might make them what they are trying to seem to be.
