L'hypocrisie est un hommage que le vice rend à la vertu.
Jeannie C. Riley delivers a righteous rebuke to small town hypocrites via the Tom T. Hall penned, Harper Valley P.T.A. 17th Century nobleman François de La Rochefoucauld puts his thumb in the eye of sanctimony with number 218 from Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims (1665–1678):
"Hypocrisy is an homage that vice pays to virtue."
François de La Rochefoucauld
Bonus Song!
Fröken Fredriksson!
Abba's Björn Ulvaeus applies some Swedish intensity to Maxim 218.
