“The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that's also a hypocrite!”

“The only vice which cannot be forgiven is hypocrisy. The repentance of a hypocrite is itself hypocrisy.”

“Hypocrisy is the most difficult and nerve-racking vice that any man can pursue; it needs an unceasing vigilance and a rare detachment of spirit. It cannot, like adultery or gluttony, be practiced at spare moments; it is a whole-time job.”

“No habit or quality is more easily acquired than hypocrisy, nor any thing sooner learned than to deny the sentiments of our hearts and the principle we act from: but the seeds of every passion are innate to us, and nobody comes into the world without them.”

“What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.”

“Time is a waste of money.”

“Charity creates a multitude of sins.”

“Those whom the gods love grow young.”

“It is always the unreadable that occurs.”

“I can resist everything except temptation.”

“Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.”
