He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool. — Arabic proverb
Posted on August 9, 2026 by Robert Ringer
Fraud can produce money, admiration, influence, and power for a time, but it also creates an expanding burden. Every lie requires another lie, every deception creates another potential witness, and every victim becomes a possible source of discovery.





Hello Mr. Ringer
… and fraud can also produce party time, and babies. I was a least partly careful when reading the great story "Atlas Shrugged." Balance should be sought in all novels. Great novelists should be kept at an arm length, if you can manage to do so. I leave these comments here so that others can subtract, amend, and adjust what I've typed. Especially, but not limited to, Mr. Ringer, who gave very good life advice in his books.
