Bad men hate sin through fear of punishment; good men hate sin through their love of virtue.

Of what avail are pedigrees?

Those things please more, which are more expensive.

Dedicate one's life to truth.

Let the straight-limbed laugh at the club-footed, the white skinned at the blackamoor.

Beasts of like kind will spare those of kindred spots.

Nothing is more audacious than these women when detected; they assume anger, and take courage from the very crime itself.
