If you run about the streets pretending to be a madman$$$ then a madman is what you are. If in pretence of being wicked you kill a man$$$ wicked is what you are. A horse that pretends to fleetness must be counted among the fleet; a man who models himself on the saintly Emperor Shun will indeed be among his number. Even a deceitful imitation of wisdom will place you among the wise.
