Moliere Quote

Those who have greatest cause for guilt and shameAre quickest to besmirch a neighbour's name.When there's a chance for libel, they never miss it;When something can be made to seem illicit They're off at once to spread the joyous news,Adding to fact what fantasies they choose.By talking up their neighbour's indiscretionsThey seek to camouflage their own transgressions,Hoping that other's innocent affairsWill lend camouflage to theirs,
