The hypocrite looks for faults; the believer looks for excuses.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'The signs of a hypocrite are three: 1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie. 2. Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise). 3. If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest (if you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it).'

The believer speaks little and does a lot, whereas the hypocrite speaks a lot and does little. When the believer speaks, it is with wisdom, when he is silent, it is in deep thought, when he sees, he takes lessons, and when he acts, it is a cure. If this is the way you are, then you are in the constant worship [of your Lord.]

It's better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite.

I stopped showering ever since I realized water causes people to drown. I cannot risk being so close to something that can murder me. Do you let killers into your house? Oh, but you let a murderer come out of your own faucet. Hypocrite.

Is it no imputation to be arraigned before this House, in which I have sat forty years, and to have my name transmitted to posterity with disgrace and infamy?

Because hypocrisy stinks in the nostrils one is likely to rate it as a more powerful agent for destruction than it is.

The value of an idea has nothing whatever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it.

Please everyone without becoming a hypocrite or a coward.

Better make penitents by gentleness than hypocrites by severity.
