Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Hypocrisy corrupts people more than theft, robbery, murder or fornication
Drawn from what Leo Tolstoy said
What Leo Tolstoy actually said
- Leo Tolstoy Russian novelist and moral philosopher (1828 to 1910)
It is not theft nor robbery nor murder nor fornication, but falsehood, the special falsehood of hypocrisy, which corrupts men, brutalizes them and makes them vindictive, destroys all distinction between right and wrong in their conscience, deprives them of what is the true meaning of all real human life, and debars them from all progress toward perfection.
