Joseph Conrad Quotes About Sincerity

Quotes about: Sincerity

• Truth of a modest sort I can promise you, and also sincerity. That complete, praiseworthy sincerity which, while it delivers one into the hands of one's enemies, is as likely as not to embroil one with one's friends.

  Joseph Conrad

  Hands, Promise, Enemy

  Joseph Conrad (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Joseph Conrad (Illustrated)”, p.5375, Delphi Classics

• And perhaps in this is the whole difference; perhaps all the wisdom, and all truth, and all sincerity, are just compressed into that inappreciable moment of time in which we step over the threshold of the invisible.

  Joseph Conrad

  Differences, Steps, Moments

  Joseph Conrad (2015). “Heart of Darkness”, p.112, eKitap Projesi

From laughter and tears the descent is easy to sniveling and giggles.

  Joseph Conrad

  Laughter, Lying, Exaggeration Is
