DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE OUTWARD PARTS
Also from The Merchant of Venice, Act III, Scene 2. Bassanio speaks: The world is still deceiv’d with ornament./In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt
But, being season’d with a gracious voice,
Obscures the show of evil? In religion,
What damned error, but some sober brow
Will bless it and approve it with a text,
Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?
There is no vice so simple but assumes
Some mark of virtue in its outward parts.
