Man is nothing but insincerity, falsehood, and hypocrisy, both in regard to himself and in regard to others. he does not wish that he should be told the truth, he shuns saying it to others; and all these moods, so inconsistent with justice and reason, have their roots in his heart.

More From Blaise Pascal

Let us not forget that violence does not live alone and is not capable of living alone: it is necessarily interwoven with falsehood. between them lies the most intimate, the deepest of natural bonds. violence finds its only refuge in falsehood, falsehood its only support in violence. any man who has once acclaimed violence as his method must inexorably choose falsehood as his principle.

Hypocrisy is bad, but it's not the worst vice in the world. if i declared “murder is wrong” and then killed somebody, i would hope that the top count against me would be homicide, not hypocrisy. liberal elites ' particularly in hollywood ' believe that hypocrisy is the gravest sin in the world, which is why they advocate their own lifestyles for the entire world: sleep with whomever you want, listen to your own instincts, be true to yourself, blah, blah, blah. our fear of hypocrisy is forcing us to live in a world where gluttons are fine, so long as they champion gluttony.

The fact that labour is external to the worker, i.e., it does not belong to his intrinsic nature; that in his work, therefore he does not affirm himself but denies himself, does not feel content but unhappy, does not develop freely his physical and mental energy but mortifies his body and his mind. the worker therefore only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself.
Mind Unhappy Energy
[j.f] kennedy's own accent was inconsistent. so people are inconsistent. and it always kind of irks me when people talk about inconsistent accents, because people are imperfect by nature. so in the end, what you do is, you do an inhabitation and not an imitation.

Consider a tree for a moment. as beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. but we don't see the roots. we just see and enjoy the beauty. in much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.
Beautiful Strong Order

Similar Quotes
We have a habit in writing articles published in scientific journals to make the work as finished as possible, to cover up all the tracks, to not worry about the blind alleys or describe how you had the wrong idea first, and so on. so there isn't any place to publish, in a dignified manner, what you actually did in order to get to do the work, although, there has been in these days, some interest in this kind of thing.

It is how we feel about ourselves that provides the greatest reward from any activity. it is not what we get that makes us valuable, it is what we become in the process of doing that brings value into our lives.
