“This is neither the time nor the place, however, to ponder how often the soul, in order to be able to boast of a clean body, has burdened itself with sadness, envy, and impurity.”— José Saramago
“For tolerance (and you must remember this when you grow older), is of very recent origin and even the people of our own so-called “modern world” are apt to be tolerant only upon such matters as do not interest them very much.”— Hendrik Willem van Loon
“I was not a hypocrite, with one real face and several false ones. I had several faces because I was young and didn’t know who I was or wanted to be.”— Milan Kundera
“Excessive religiosity is killing so many religious people knowingly or unknowingly”— Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
“The nice people do not come to God, because they think they are good through their own merits or bad through inherited instincts. If they do good, they believe they are to receive the credit for it; if they do evil, they deny that it is their own fault. They are good through their own goodheartedness, they say; but they are bad because they are misfortunate, either in their economic life or through an inheritance of evil genes from their grandparents. The nice people rarely come to God; they take their moral tone from the society in which they live. Like the Pharisee in front of the temple, they believe themselves to be very respectable citizens. Elegance is their test of virtue; to them, the moral is the aesthetic, the evil is the ugly. Every move they make is dictated, not by a love of goodness, but by the influence of their age. Their intellects are cultivated—in knowledge of current events; they read only the bestsellers, but their hearts are undisciplined. They say that they would go to church if the Church were only better—but they never tell you how much better the Church must be before they will join it. They sometimes condemn the gross sins of society, such as murder; they are not tempted to these because they fear the opprobrium which comes to them who commit them. By avoiding the sins which society condemns, they escape reproach, they consider themselves good par excellence.”— Fulton J. Sheen
“It takes a common thug to commit injustice, but it takes an exceptional thug to call it “social justice”.”— Jakub Bo?ydar Wi?niewski
“I’m so tired of people who can’t be honest. “Beauty is on the inside” Really?? Then why do rich guys & successful guys always end up with beautiful women but they have lousy personalities?.”— Colin Cowherd
“As children we are taught, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me!” As adults we teach those same words to our own children while simultaneously we sue one another for defamation or verbal assault. Ah, the naked leading the blind.”— Bryan Oftedahl

“That’s the trouble with the world we live in, Dana. It’s full of people just doing their job and ignoring what’s really going on. Care about the rainforest until they get a couple of kids and enough money for a gas guzzling car, or some fancy hardwood dining furniture. Watch all those wildlife programmes and coo over the furry animals, but still eat meat and poultry that was raised in conditions of unbelievable cruelty. I’m sorry, but we live in a relatively free society. The facts are available, but people choose to ignore them. As far as I’m concerned, any educated person who works for the government or a big oil company is guilty through their own selective ignorance.”— Robert Muchamore
“If your life itself is not a message then no matter what you preach, your preaching will become a hypocrisy.”— Rahul Karn
“He who acquired all his wealth by *being at the right place at the right time* is hypocritical by being angry for losing all his wealth because of his *being at the wrong place at the wrong time.*”— Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“The [women’s] march was pointless, classless, and brainless, but not harmless. One common theme was anger at certain crass comments Trump made in the past. To combat this, the march’s leaders and their lemmings decided to be crude, lewd, and even more crass in the present. It’s much like trying to correct your child’s cursing by cursing him out.”— Selwyn Duke
“No president likes leaks, but it’s worth noting candidate Trump’s path to power was tread on a road of leaks. He didn’t have a problem with leaks then. It’s not a moral position if you only hold it when it applies to you.”— Jake Tapper
“Look at the tyranny of party– at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty– a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes– and which turns voters into chattels, slaves, rabbits; and all the while, their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction; and forgetting or ignoring that their fathers and the churches shouted the same blasphemies a generation earlier when they were closing thier doors against the hunted slave, beating his handful of humane defenders with Bible-texts and billies, and pocketing the insults nad licking the shoes of his Southern master.”— Mark Twain
“A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation.”— Adlai E. Stevenson II
“All people like to be praised as it boosts their self-esteem, keeps them motivated and happy but it also pushes them into the abyss of sham, which is propelled by hypocrisy and sycophancy.”— Balroop Singh
“Look at that crowd’, he said disgustedly. ‘They think it’s a circus.”And not a single coin are they donating’, said Dina.’That’s not surprising. Pity can only be shown in small doses. When so many beggars are in one place, the public goes like this’ – he put his fists to his eyes, like binoculars.”— Rohinton Mistry
“… the worst possible heritage to leave with children: high spiritual pretensions and low performance.”— D.A. Carson
