And oftentimes, excusing of a fault,
Doth make a fault the worse by the excuse;
As patches set upon a little breach,
Discredit more in hiding of the fault,
Than did the fault before it was so patch'd.
Shakespeare   King John Act iv, Sc. 2

{8:16} Now no one, lighting a candle, covers it with a container, or sets it under a bed. Instead, he places it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
{8:17} For there is nothing secret, which will not be made clear, nor is there anything hidden, which will not be known and be brought into plain sight. 
{8:18} Therefore, take care how you listen. For whoever has, it will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.
