More From Rafael Sabatini

Hypocrisy is bad, but it's not the worst vice in the world. if i declared “murder is wrong” and then killed somebody, i would hope that the top count against me would be homicide, not hypocrisy. liberal elites ' particularly in hollywood ' believe that hypocrisy is the gravest sin in the world, which is why they advocate their own lifestyles for the entire world: sleep with whomever you want, listen to your own instincts, be true to yourself, blah, blah, blah. our fear of hypocrisy is forcing us to live in a world where gluttons are fine, so long as they champion gluttony.
Believe Sleep Hypocrisy
The more sincerity is developed, the greater share of truth you will have. and however much sincerity a person may have, there is always a gap to fill, for we live in the midst of falsehood, and we are always apt to be carried away by this world of falsehood. therefore we must never think we are sincere enough, and we must always be on our guard against influences which may carry us away from that sincerity which is the bridge between ourselves and our ideal. no study, no meditation is more helpful than sincerity itself.
Thinking Bridges Meditation
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

If god is an author and the universe is the biggest novel ever written, i may feel as if i'm the lead character in the story, but like every man and woman on earth, i am a suporting player in one of billions of subplots. you know what happens to supporting players. too often they are killed off in chapter 3, or in chapter 10, or in chapter 35. a supporting player always has to be looking over his shoulder.

All mankind is one volume. when one man dies, a chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language. and every chapter must be translated. god employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice. but god's hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall live open to one another
Life War Book
Sincerity is not a test of truth. we must not make this mistake: he must be right; he's so sincere. because, it is possible to be sincerely wrong. we can only judge truth by truth and sincerity by sincerity.
