Victor Hugo The common argument that crime is caused by poverty is a kind of slander on the poor. H. L. Mencken He who knows how to flatter also knows how to slander. Napoleon Bonaparte The society of dead authors has this advantage over that of the living: they never flatter us to our faces, nor slander us behind our backs, nor intrude upon our privacy, nor quit their shelves until we take them down.
