What if a man save my life with a draught that was prepared to poison me? The providence of the issue does not at all discharge the obliquity of the intent. And the same reason holds good even in religion itself. It is not the incense, or the offering that is acceptable to God, but the purity and devotion of the worshipper.

Man is a social animal.

Every guilty person is his own hangman.

Drunkenness is nothing else but a voluntary madness.

There is no power greater than true affection.

A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.

The language of truth is unvarnished enough.
