Cynicism

What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

—Oscar Wilde

Cynicism is not realistic and tough. It's unrealistic and kind of cowardly because it means you don't have to try.

—Peggy Noonan

Never be a cynic, even a gentle one. Never help out a sneer, even at the devil.

—Vachel Lindsay

Make crime pay. Become a lawyer.

—Will Rogers
