While we are reviewing lovely quotations denigrating hypocrisy, let me note that I don't think it is the most serious vice out there, and we all have a bit of it from time to time. I certainly confess.

For example, I am very worried about what football does to men's heads - and very unhappy about what big time college football does to universities' integrity and (for most) financial situation. Nonetheless, I am a h--- fan of the game and spend far too much time on this board and watching Stanford games. I think that makes me a hypocrite.

I don't think that's a sign of hypocrisy, I think it's a sign of being rightfully worried about what could happen to something you enjoy being a part of. The people who aren't concerned at all about those things aren't paying enough attention.
