The desire of talking of ourselves, and showing those faults we do not mind having seen, makes up a good part of our sincerity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We confess our bad qualities to others out of fear of appearing naive or ridiculous by not being aware of them.
However greatly we distrust the sincerity of those we converse with, yet still we think they tell more truth to us than to anyone else.
Sincerity is the way to heaven.
We want deeper sincerity of motive, a greater courage in speech and earnestness in action.
We don't know where our first impressions come from or precisely what they mean, so we don't always appreciate their fragility.
How can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Admiration, n. Our polite recognition of another's resemblance to ourselves.
By sincerity, a man gains physical, mental and linguistic straightforwardness, and harmonious tendency; that is, congruence of speech and action.
And yet because of my attempt at sincerity I have been condemned, hooted at, reviled; filthy rumors have been circulated about me, not about my characterizations but about me personally, my private self.
Sincerity is like traveling on a plain, beaten road, which commonly brings a man sooner to his journey's end than by-ways, in which men often lose themselves.
