Once when an enthusiastic lady called to ask her aid in establishing an International Society for Reform, Aunt Faith listened quietly, and then said, "I will join you, Mrs. B , when I have the leisure time at my disposal." She never found the time, but in her answer, she was not insincere.
As there are many such relationships, not to be avoided even by the most emotional natures, they escape from them by simulating lively feeling, and are sometimes exaggerated and insincere in manner. They issue a very large paper currency on a very small gold reserve.
But I know myself too well to hope for happiness in the gay frivolous insincere world, where I have fluttered out my butterfly existence of fashionable emptiness. 'I kissed the painted bloom off Pleasure's lips And found them pale as Pain's. I have bruised and singed my Psyche wings, and le beau monde has no new, strong pinions to replace those beat out in its hard tyrannous service.
Although, of course, I am not talking about mere conventional dissimilarities; and though I know and believe and feel all that can be said about the insufficiency, and even insincerity, of such, yet there is a broad gulf between the man who believes in Jesus Christ and His Gospel and the man who does not, and the resulting conducts cannot be the same unless the Christian man is insincere.
With the beauty of the country it is impossible not to be delighted, whether that delight is confessed or not; and every woman cannot fail to prefer the style of society, whatever she may say. If she denies it, she is set down in my mind as insincere and weakly prejudiced. Pray write your journal this summer; you have little else to do. I should be charmed to find it finished on my return. Adieu.
Although he was musical, and could be critical about a composition according to its lights, Dion did not think about the music of this song qua music could not have said how good he considered it to be. He knew only that this was not poor or insincere music.
Console Lady Catherine as well as you can. But, if I were you, I would stand by the nephew. He has more to give. "Yours sincerely, etc." Miss Bingley's congratulations to her brother, on his approaching marriage, were all that was affectionate and insincere. She wrote even to Jane on the occasion, to express her delight, and repeat all her former professions of regard.
The article on Liberty would be extremely remarkable, appearing where it does, and coming from a thinker of Diderot's general capacity, if only we could be sure that Diderot was sincere. As it happens, there is good reason to suppose that he was wholly insincere.
Instead, however, she found herself saying, as she looked carelessly out of window "Oh! go on." "Well, then" he drew himself up suddenly and wheeled round upon her "you have the gift of compromise. That is invaluable that will take you far." "Thank you!" she said. "Thank you! I know what that means from a Venturist. You think me a mean insincere person!"
To a man who, like Seneca, aimed at being not only a philosopher, but also a man of the world who in this very treatise criticises the Stoics for their ignorance of life there would not have seemed to be even the shadow of disgrace in a private effusion of insincere flattery intended to win the remission of a deplorable banishment.
