Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.

It is tact that is golden, not silence.

Oaths are but words, and words are but wind.

There is nothing so unthinkable as thought, unless it be the entire absence of thought.

I do not mind lying, but I hate inaccuracy.

The function of vice is to keep virtue within reasonable bounds.

For truth is precious and divine, too rich a pearl for carnal swine.
