#hypocrisy

When the great Tao is forgotten, goodness and piety appear. When intellectual cleverness arises, great hypocrisy begins.

Old men love to give good advice to console themselves for no longer being able to set bad examples.

Hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue.

A man who speaks sweetly while harboring malice is like a pot of poison with a surface of milk.

You wash the vessel clean a thousand times from outside, but leave the filth rotting within. How will the nectar stay pure?

Tear off the veil of solemn piety; the tavern of divine love welcomes only those who dare to be drunk on truth.
