"It has been remarked that Mr. Pecksniff was a moral man. So he was. Perhaps there never was a more moral man than Mr. Pecksniff: especially in his conversation and correspondence. It was once said of him by a homely admirer, that he had a Fortunatas's purse of good sentiments in his inside...Some people likened him to a direction-post, which is always telling the way to a place and never goes there”

--Charles Dickens,
Martin Chuzzlewit
