The hypocrite's crime is that he bears false witness against himself. What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core. ~ Hannah Arendt

I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end... I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me. ~Abraham Lincoln
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. ~ Carl Sagan
Man seeks to escape himself in myth, and does so by any means at his disposal. Drugs, alcohol, or lies. Unable to withdraw into himself, he disguises himself. Lies and inaccuracy give him a few moments of comfort. ~ Jean Cocteau

Hypocrisy in anything whatever may deceive the cleverest and most penetrating man, but the least wide-awake of children recognizes it, and is revolted by it, however ingeniously it may be disguised. ~ Leo Tolstoy
If Satan ever laughs, it must be at hypocrites; they are the greatest dupes he has ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Early in life, I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose honest arrogance and have seen no occasion to change. ~ Frank Lloyd Wright
How inexpressible is the meanness of being a hypocrite! how horrible is it to be a mischievous and malignant hypocrite. ~ Voltaire

Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to this country as irresponsible talk. The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character. ~ Margaret Chase Smith

To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else.

To accuse others for one's own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one's education is complete ~ Epictetus

Geez.... Urban! Don't cry or anything.
-RO upon the Ole Miss one point win over #4 ranked Florida.
I would rather a ranked SEC team beat Georgia (my boys) than an unranked Pac 10 or ACC team. Bama came to play, they played hard, they played to win, and Georgia let inexperience eat of penalties. We just didn't deserve to win. If your team can't make it, pull for your conference. Unless it's Florida.
- RO, one minute or so left in the much anticipated Bama @ UGA game.

The first reaction to truth is hatred ~ Tertullian
What is evil? Killing is evil, lying is evil, slandering is evil, abuse is evil, gossip is evil: envy is evil, hatred is evil, to cling to false doctrine is evil; all these things are evil. And what is the root of evil? Desire is the root of evil, illusion is the root of evil. ~ Buddha
The evils of the body are, murder, theft, and adultery; of the tongue, lying, slander, abuse, and idle talk; of the mind, covetousness, hatred, and error. ~ Buddha
Hatred is settled anger ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Never in this world can hatred be stilled by hatred; it will be stilled by non-hatred - this is the law Eternal ~ Buddha
The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life. ~ Dalai Lama
Hatred corrodes the vessel in which it is stored ~ Chinese Proverbs
Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated ~ George Bernard Shaw
Hatred is the madness of the heart ~ Lord Byron
My pacifism is an instinctive feeling, a feeling that possesses me because the murder of men is disgusting. My attitude is not derived from any intellectual theory but is based on my deepest antipathy to every kind of cruelty and hatred. ~ Albert Einstein

We stand, as it were, on the shore, and see multitudes of our fellow beings struggling in the water, stretching forth their arms, sinking, drowning, and we are powerless to assist them.~ Felix Adler
Suffering and joy teach us, if we allow them, how to make the leap of empathy, which transports us into the soul and heart of another person. ln those transparent moments we know other people's joys and sorrows, and we care about their concerns as if they were our own. ~ Fritz Williams

...when we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings. ~ Sogyal Rinpoche
All violence is the result of people tricking themselves into believing that their pain derives from other people and that consequently those people deserve to be punished. ~ Marshall Rosenberg
