Thought for today: 

“Hypocrisy is the most difficult and nerve-racking vice that any man can pursue; it needs an unceasing vigilance and a rare detachment of spirit.  It cannot like adultery or gluttony, be practiced at spare moments; it is a whole time job.” 

W. Somerset Maugham 

[1874-1965], 

from Cakes and Ale (1930), 

chapter 11.
