Sincerity

Famous quotes containing the word sincerity:

“I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board. The hospitality was as cold as the ices. I thought that there was no need of ice to freeze them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
