"And have you never," said Amelia, "deviated from this generous way of thinking?" "Never once," answered the other, "in the whole course of my life." "O, Mrs. Ellison! Mrs. Ellison!" cries Amelia; "why do we ever blame those who are disingenuous in confessing their faults, when we are so often ashamed to own ourselves in the right?
Who can doubt that some such feeling as this was in Dean Alford's mind when the notes above criticised were written? Yet what are the means taken to avoid the recognition of obvious truth? They are disingenuous in the very highest degree. Can this prosper? Not if Christ is true. What is the practical result?
The remark, to say the least of it, is disingenuous. I have done no such thing.
The current account deficit a mere accounting convention simply encapsulates this overwhelming allure. This is somewhat disingenuous. In the last three years, most of the net inflows of foreign capital into the spendthrift US are in the form of debt to be repaid. This mounting indebtedness did not increase the stock of income-producing capital.
It makes one feel very lonely." "I, too," Laverick said, with commendable mendacity, "am rather a lonely person. You must let me see something of you now and then." She looked up at him quickly. Her gaze was altogether disingenuous, but her eyes those wonderful eyes spoke volumes. "If you really mean it," she said, "I should be so glad." "Supposing we start to-day," he suggested, smiling.

It may be safely said that no state papers have ever emanated from our government on so serious a question equally lacking in logical consistency and moral force.
It seems to me that all noble people project an image of a given thing to a listening recipient which shows it to be the way the thing really is regardless of the consequences. A cat can pretend to be stealth and invisible, but does that mean it is smart? How clever are disingenuous actions really? Aren't most problems on this planet due to this animalistic self-preserving cleverness? I think so.
People sometimes come and see me, and I can see the pity in their faces and voices; I can see it in the anxious care with which my good servants surround me; but I feel that it is half disingenuous in me to accept it, because I need no pity. Perhaps there is something left for me to do in the world: there seems no reason otherwise why I should linger here.
