Clare commenting on Mossack
Fonseca 200 years ago? What HAS changed?
"interest may dictate
& he only keeps his cunning out of sight to make use of it to take the
better advantage"
Pet MS A43 p26-34
Over his long life Clare was in the habit of expressing his thoughts in succinct and memorable statements and idiomatic phrases. Thanks to the late David Powell, the librarian at the Clare collection in Northampton, many of these were collected and published, first "Clare's Proverbs" and then "Clare's Aphorisms". However, both books are now virtually impossible to obtain. So to fill this gap, this page seeks to bring Clare's aphorisms to a wider audience.
