It behooves us always to bear in mind, that while actions are always to be judged by the immutable standard of right and wrong, the judgments which we pass upon men must be qualified by considerations of age, country, station, and other accidental circumstances; and it will then be found that he who is most charitable in his judgment is generally the least unjust.
Robert SoutheyAll deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into things.
