A Quote by Wes Fesler
Hypocrisy is the audacity to preach integrity from a den of corruption.

Actually, we have misdefined "hypocrisy." Hypocrisy is not the failure to practice what you preach but the failure to believe it. Hypocrisy is propaganda.
People of integrity and honesty not only practice what they preach, they are what they preach.
I am learning that the best cure for hypocrisy is community. Hypocrisy is not so much the result of not living what I preach but much more of not confessing my inability to fully live up to my own words.
Corruption and hypocrisy ought not to be inevitable products of democracy, as they undoubtedly are today.
When I saw corruption, I was forced to find truth on my own. I couldn't swallow the hypocrisy.
If what you preach and what you do are inconsistent, your children will spot hypocrisy faster than anybody and do the opposite.
Audacity, and again, audacity, and always audacity.
Audacity, more audacity, always audacity.
The logical upshot of liberalism's hatred of hypocrisy is that it is better for the liar to champion lying, the glutton to advocate gluttony, the adulterer to celebrate adultery, than for someone to preach the right thing if he himself occasionally does the wrong thing. Better to let your failings define you and be happy about it, than to let your ideals define you but then fall short of them, for that opens you up to the charge of hypocrisy.
How do you fall into a lion's den, that is my first question there, you think you would be extra carefull around a den of lions.
Mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity.
Audacity isn't the absence of uncertainty and ambiguity. Audacity is believing that God's promise is bigger than my 'perhaps'
I am big supporter of the idea of a global anti-corruption movement - but one that begins by recognizing that the architecture of corruption is different in different countries. The corruption we suffer is not the same as the corruption that debilitates Africa. But it is both corruption, and both need to be eliminated if the faith in democracy is not going to be destroyed.
Audacity, always audacity - soundest principal of strategy.
Where I can preach I do preach and where I can't I still preach with love but just not the normal words we usually use in church.
Conservatives are often fond of La Rochefoucauld's famous aphorism that 'Hypocrisy is a tribute that vice pays to virtue,' and so tend to downplay hypocrisy as a sin. But in the marketplace of ideas they champion, hypocrisy may yet turn out to be the deadliest - or costliest - of sins.
