Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
The most terrible and dangerous deception for humanity is Pharisaism, the hypocrisy that makes selfish activity for personal purposes pass as serving God. (This hypocrisy dates back to ancient times.) The political Pharisaism developed in our time is perhaps even more harmful. People, from the Tsar to the common worker, convince themselves and convince others that they are concerned with the good of the people, when in fact they have no intention of doing so, they are driven only by selfishness primitive. There is also family Pharisaism. The man is miserly, power-loving, he wants to convince himself and others that everything he does is for his family.
