It is impossible to imagine a strong state consisting of hypocrites and swindlers.

246.  Plato in his Republic and Aristotle in his Politics had in mind organized societies of intelligent co-workers, and did not tolerate tyrants, hypocrites or swindlers.  It is impossible to imagine a strong state consisting of hypocrites and swindlers.  Hypocrisy is incompatible with the highest beliefs and knowledge, and a false foundation will serve only a false structure.  We do not approve of the slightest manifestation of hypocrisy, and believe that this vice begets all other corrupt feelings.
