To create a public scandal is what's wicked; to sin in private is not a sin.
It is a folly second to none; to try to improve the world.
All which is not prose is verse; and all which is not verse is prose.
Of all human foibles love of living is the most powerful.
That must be fine, for I don't understand a word.
A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.
