I have to submit to much in order to pacify the touchy tribe of poets.
God has joined the innocent with the guilty.
Virtuosi have been long remarked to have little conscience in their favorite pursuits. A man will steal a rarity who would cut off his hand rather than take the money it is worth. Yet, in fact, the crime is the same.
Virtue lies half way between two opposite vices.
Help a man against his will and you do the same as murder him.
Content with his past life, let him take leave of life like a satiated guest.
