We are more concerned about our reputation than our conscience.
The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues. It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves. The heart has its reasons which reason knows not. We often forgive those who bore us, but we cannot forgive those whom we bore. The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them. The only thing that can be said about the truth is that it is often painful. Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. We are all more or less hypocritical. |
