William Hazlitt Hype Quotations

A hypocrite despises those whom he deceives, but has no respect for himself. He would make a dupe of himself too, if he could.

There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our firends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please, that is, as they please or displease us.
