Freeing hostages is like putting up a stage set, which you do with the captors, agreeing on each piece as you slowly put it together; then you leave an exit through which both the captor and the captive can walk with sincerity and dignity.

A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.

I now announce myself as candidate for the Presidency. I anticipate criticism; but however unfavorable I trust that my sincerity will not be called into question.

If knowledge and foresight are too penetrating and deep, unify them with ease and sincerity.
