sincerity

Sir, are you so grossly ignorant of human nature, as not to know that a man may be very sincere in good principles, without having good practice?

Officious, innocent, sincere, Of every friendless name the friend.

In a sincere fast, we are given an open invitation by the Lord to draw dose to him, to open our hearts to him, to feel his Spirit and pure love. It's a time to recommit to obeying his commandments.

Ever judge of men by their professions. For though the bright moment of promising is but a moment, and cannot be prolonged, yet if sincere in its moment's extravagant goodness, why, trust it, and know the man by it, I say,- not by his performance; which is half the world's work, interfere as the world needs must with its accidents and circumstances: the profession was purely the man's own. I judge people by what they might be,- not are, nor will be.

Sincere love is something that sacrifices-not something that indulges itself. Sincere love is responsible. It would never knowingly hurt, but would heal.

Two man talk and one may hear, but three cannot take part in a conversation of the most sincere and searching sort.

Sincerity is the highest compliment you can pay.

Sincerity is the luxury allowed, like diadems and authority, only to the highest rank. . . . Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins.

The hand that rounded Peter's dome, And groined the aisles of Christian Rome, Wrought in a sad sincerity; Himself from God he could not free; He builded better than he knew: The conscious stone to beauty grew.

Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins.
