A hypocrite is in himself both the archer and the mark, in all actions shooting at his own praise or profit.

Ambition is a gilded misery, a secret poison, a hidden plague, the engineer of deceit, the mother of hypocrisy, the parent of envy, the original of vices, the moth of holiness, the blinder of hearts, turning medicines into maladies, and remedies into diseases.

It has been the political career of this man to begin with hypocrisy, proceed with arrogance, and finish with contempt

In fair weather prepare for foul.

It is more difficult to praise rightly than to blame.

Abused patience turns to fury.
