Dat veniam corvis, vexat censura columbas. - Censure acquits the raven, but pursues the dove.
The face, not the woman is the attraction.
The sweetest pleasures soonest cloy, And its best flavour temperance gives to joy.
Censure pardons the ravens but rebukes the doves. [The innocent are punished and the wicked escape.]
Seldom do people discern eloquence under a threadbare cloak
No man becomes bad all at once.
