How about "For Brutus is an honourable man" (Julius Caesar III.2.79)

What comes to mind is not Shakespeare but Pope and Dryden. What about Pope's 
famous couplet,

    "Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
     And, without sneering, teach the rest to sneer."

         Pope: Epistle to Arbuthnot.

Try Macbeth:  'False face doth hide what the false heart doth know'

Cheers,

 >Perhaps from one of the political plays?"

My instant response: Hamlet 1.5:

O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!
My tables, -- meet it is I set it down,
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain;
At least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark:

Mari Bonomi
