II, l. 110) False as the adulterate promises of favorites in power when poor men court them. - Thomas Otway False-dealing travels a short road, and surely detected. - William Penn As false As air, as water, as wind, as sandy earth; As fox to lamb; as wolf to heifer's calf; Pard to the hind, or stepdame to her son. - William Shakespeare False as stairs of sand. - William Shakespeare Had she been true, If Heaven would make me such another world Of one entire and perfect chrysolite, I'd not have sold her for it. - William Shakespeare Stealing her soul with many vows of faith; And ne'er a true one. - William Shakespeare I pray you do not fall in love with me, For I am falser than vows made in wine. - William Shakespeare, As You Like It (Rosalind at III, v) He who is false to his fellow-man is also false to his Maker. - P.J.
