"Their wickedness is discovered by word or deed"

“HYPOCRITES are rarely so consummate but that their wickedness is discovered by word or deed. They may be guarded in their deliberate conduct, but sudden emergencies and frustrations find them out. So also their true colours are revealed when they are thwarted, and when they have obtained what they desire.”

~St. Thomas Aquinas: Commentary, in Matthaeum, vii, lect. 2.
