Honesty is praised and left in the cold.
Such men as fortune raises from a mean estate to the highest elevation by way of a joke.
Where have you ever found that man who stopped short after the perpetration of a single crime?
Rarely do we meet in one combined, a beauteous body and a virtuous mind.
Censure pardons the ravens but rebukes the doves. [The innocent are punished and the wicked escape.]
Remorse is the fruit of crime.
