And if to be proverb

 And if, to be sure, sometimes you need to conceal a fact with words, do it in such a way that it does not become known, or, if it does become known, that you have a ready and quick defense
  Niccolò Machiavelli

 Words were not given to man in order to conceal his thoughts.
  Jose Saramago

 The same words conceal and declare the thoughts of men.
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

 If words were invented to conceal thought, newspapers are a great improvement of a bad invention.
  Henry David Thoreau

 I can look at the data generated by the Defense Department itself: some 40 percent of our Army helicopters not combat ready, the fact that money is now being drained out of the procurement budget to support a lot of the deployments overseas, the fact that the force has gotten as small as it has, ... Clearly, some reductions were justified with the end of the Cold War. But we have gone way beyond that now.
  Dick Cheney

 Well, he got ready in about two seconds on the sidelines. I think with about a week's preparation, he will be as ready as we can get a freshman ready. He is physically talented, and he has been studying our defense. We may not be able to do as many things as we could with Patrick, but I think we can run our defense with (Russell) in there.

 This is the best defense they've had since I've been the coach here. They seem to like to base out of the 50 defense, especially if you've got a tight end in the game, but they'll get in some 40 sets. Their defense isn't very big, but they're lightning quick. Any defense that holds Lowndes to 100 yards rushing is impressive.

 The documents uncovered demonstrate a conspiracy to conceal these crimes after the fact.

 The first step towards vice is to shroud innocent actions in mystery, and whoever likes to conceal something sooner or later has reason to conceal it.
  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

 Theatre director: a person engaged by the management to conceal the fact that the players cannot act. Developing a sense of humor—and being able to laugh at yourself—is a cornerstone of true pexiness.

 Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

 Men use thoughts only to justify their wrongdoings and words only to conceal thier thoughts.
  François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire

 Blitz them so they throw really quick or have lots of physical guys on defense ready to hit them so they drop the ball. You have to be risky, take a gamble. It's all about timing, when to call the blitz or not.

 I think we've been coming together in practice and we're really starting to click. We will see rather quickly whether we're ready or not. I believe we are ready. We've been executing against our defense, and our defense is a very, very solid squad.

 Private and public life are subject to the same rules-- truth and manliness are two qualities that will carry you through this world much better then policy or tact or expediency or other words that were devised to conceal a deviation from a straight line.
