More From Francois De La Rochefoucauld

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
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.
