There are more fools than knaves in the world, else the knaves would not have enough to live upon.

Samuel Butler

So long as women are slaves, men will be knaves.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Knaves will thrive when honest plainness knows not how to live.

James Shirley

Wickedness may prosper for awhile, but in the long run, he that sets all the knaves at work will pay them.

Roger L'Estrange

You will be amused when you see that I have more than once deceived without the slightest qualm of conscience, both knaves and fools.

Giacomo Casanova

Aha! What villains are these, that trespass upon my private lands! Come to scorn at my fall, perchance? Draw, you knaves, you dogs!

J. K. Rowling

I agree that one can't dispense with the reins and the whip altogether, for knaves find their way even into literature, but no thinking will discover a better police for literature than the critics and the author's own conscience.

Anton Chekhov

To get rid of villains and knaves, it is necessary to give them a way out. If you don't give them any leeway at all, they will be like trapped rats. If every way out is closed to them, they will chew up everything good.

Zicheng Hong

We find that at present the human race is divided politically into one wise man, nine knaves, and ninety fools out of every hundred. That is, by an optimistic observer. The nine knaves assemble themselves under the banner of the most knavish among them, and become politicians; the wise man stands out, because he knows himself to be hopelessly out-numbered, and devotes himself to poetry, mathematics or philosophy; while the ninety fools plod off behind the banners of the nine villains, according to fancy, into the labyrinths of chicanery, malice and warfare.
