Under/on false pretences

True glory takes root, and even spreads; all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground; nor can any counterfeit last long.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 f.Kr.-43 f.Kr.)

Marcus Tullius Cicero

PALMISTRY, n. The 947th method (according to Mimbleshaw's classification) of obtaining money by false pretences. It consists in
"reading character" in the wrinkles made by closing the hand. The pretence is not altogether false; character can really be read very accurately in this way, for the wrinkles in every hand submitted plainly spell the word "dupe." The imposture consists in not reading it aloud.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

Either Christianity is true or it's false. If you bet that it's true, and you believe in God and submit to Him, then if it IS true, you've gained God, heaven, and everything else. If it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. If you bet that Christianity is not true, and it's false, you've lost nothing. But if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell.

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

Blaise Pascal

You have to be aware that people may try to send you false information and false pictures. We don't publish anything until we've seen it and checked it.

Necessity hath no law. Feigned necessities, imaginary necessities . . . are the greatest cozenage that men can put upon the Providence of God, and make pretences to break known rules by.

Lord Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658)

There had been allegations that people in his lab may have donated eggs. I was told those were also false. I now question whether they are indeed false.
