The tendency of humanity is towards the forbidden.
It was intended to be a vase, it has turned out a pot.
Let every man find pleasure in practising the profession he has learnt.
One musts avoid that wicked temptress, Laziness.
Pry not into the affairs of others, and keep secret that which has been entrusted to you, though sorely tempted by wine and passion.
Let this be your wall of brass, to have nothing on your conscience, no guilt to make you turn pale.
