Some smaller crimes always precede the great crimes.
Love is not dumb. The heart speaks many ways.
And do you count for nothing God who fights for us?
I loved you when you were unfaithful; what would I have done if you were true?
How good is God! How sweet his yoke!
Small crimes always precede great crimes. Whoever has been able to transgress the limits set by law may afterwards violate the most sacred rights; crime, like virtue, has its degrees, and never have we seen timid innocence pass suddenly to extreme licentiousness.
