Every man is a hypocrite. [ Frederick IV ]

An hypocrite never thoroughly repents. [ Proverb ]

No man is a hypocrite in his pleasures. [ Johnson ]

False praise can please, and calumny affright
None but the vicious, and the hypocrite. [ Horace ]

The hypocrite hurts himself; the libertine the whole society. [ Proverb ]

An hypocrite pays tribute to God, only that he may impose upon men. [ Proverb ]

The hypocrite shows well and says well, and himself is the worst thing he hath. [ Bishop Hall ]

Sincerity makes the least man to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite. [ Spurgeon ]

He who is passionate and hasty is generally honest. It is your cool, dissembling hypocrite of whom you should beware. [ Lavater ]

Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy. The charlatan is verbose and assumptive; the Pharisee is ostentatious, because he is a hypocrite. Pride is the master sin of the Devil; and the Devil is the father of lies. [ Chapin ]

Love is rarely a hypocrite; but hate - how detect and how guard against it! It lurks where you least expect it; it is created by causes that you can the least foresee; and civilization multiplies its varieties, whilst it favors its disguise. [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]

History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality. A man who moralizes is usually a hypocrite, and a woman who moralizes is invariably plain. There is nothing in the world as unbecoming to a woman as a Nonconformist conscience. [ Oscar Wilde, Lady Windemere's Fan ]

Those who worship gold in a world so corrupt as this we live in have at least one thing to plead in defense of their idolatry - the power of their idol. It is true that, like other idols, it can neither move, see, hear, feel, nor understand; but, unlike other idols, it has often communicated all these powers to those who had them not, and annihilated them in those who had. This idol can boast of two peculiarities; it is worshipped in all climates, without a single temple, and by all classes, without a single hypocrite. [ Colton ]
