Better to be known as a sinner than a hypocrite. – Proverb

Never to talk to ones self is a form of hypocrisy. – Fredrich

Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds. – Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Friendship,” Essays, 1841

A man generally has two reasons for doing a thing. One that sounds good, and a real one. – J. Pierpoint Morgan
