Jim:

Yes I do enjoy sayings, aphorisms, and these are good. Hopkins' reference to McCauley

A yard stick, of character, is what you would do if you knew
you would never be found out.
:Thomas Macauley (1800 - 1859, English statesman, historian


has also been restated or perhaps paraphrased like this:
