As a man loves gold, in that proportion he hates to be imposed upon by
counterfeits; and in proportion as a man has regard for that which is
above price and better than gold, he abhors that hypocrisy which is but
its counterfeit.--_Cecil._
Hypocrisy, the only evil that walks invisible, except to God
alone.--_Milton._
Hypocrisy, detest her as we may, and no man's hatred ever wronged her
yet, may claim this merit still: that she admits the worth of what she
mimics with such care.--_Cowper._
I hate hypocrites, who put on their virtues with their white
gloves.--_Alfred de Musset._
Such a man will omit neither family worship, nor a sneer at his
neighbor. He will neither milk his cows on the first day of the week
without a Sabbath mask on his face, nor remove it while he waters the
milk for his customers.--_George Mac Donald._
The fatal fact in the case of a hypocrite is that he is a
hypocrite.--_Chapin._
'Tis a cowardly and servile humor to hide and disguise a man's self
under a vizor, and not to dare to show himself what he is. By that our
followers are train'd up to treachery. Being brought up to speak what is
not true, they make no conscience of a lie.--_Montaigne._
