Civilization is a conspiracy. Modern life is the silent compact of comfortable folk to keep up pretences.
John Buchan
The war on Iraq was a disaster, clearly carried out under false pretences.
Joe Wilson
True glory takes root, and even spreads; all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground; nor can any counterfeit last long.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
