--CECIL.
Hypocrites do the devil's drudgery in Christ's livery.--MATTHEW HENRY.
To wear long faces, just as if our Maker,
The God of goodness, was an undertaker.
--PETER PINDAR.
Hypocrisy is oftenest clothed in the garb of religion.--HOSEA BALLOU.
Such a man will omit neither family worship, nor a sneer at his
neighbor. He will neither milk his cows on the first day of the week
without a Sabbath mask on his face, nor remove it while he waters the
milk for his customers.--GEORGE MACDONALD.
If Satan ever laughs, it must be at hypocrites; they are the greatest
dupes he has.--COLTON.
IDLENESS.--I look upon indolence as a sort of suicide.--CHESTERFIELD.
Some people have a perfect genius for doing nothing, and doing it
assiduously.--HALIBURTON.
Laziness grows on people; it begins in cobwebs, and ends in iron
chains. The more business a man has to do, the more he is able to
accomplish; for he learns to economize his time.--JUDGE HALE.
If you ask me which is the real hereditary sin of human nature, do you
imagine I shall answer pride or luxury or ambition or egotism? No; I
shall say indolence. Who conquers indolence will conquer all the rest.
Indeed, all good principles must stagnate without mental activity.
--ZIMMERMANN.
A poor idle man cannot be an honest man.--ACHILLES POINCELOT.
Absence of occupation is not rest,
A mind quite vacant is a mind distress'd.
