Hypocrisy is a fashionable vice, and all fashionable vices pass for virtue.
Those whose conduct gives room for talk are always the first to attack their neighbors.
Ah! devout though I may be, I am no less a man!
We live under a prince who is an enemy to fraud, a prince whose eyes penetrate into the heart, and whom all the art of impostors can't deceive.
What! Would you make no distinction between hypocrisy and devotion? Would you give them the same names, and respect the mask as you do the face? Would you equate artifice and sincerity? Confound appearance with truth? Regard the phantom as the very person? Value counterfeit as cash?
