A lie never lives to be old.
Hide nothing, for time, which sees all and hears all, exposes all.
Look how men live, always precariously balanced between good and bad fortune.
All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.
You clearly hate to yield, but you will regret it when your anger has passed. Such natures are justly the hardest for themselves to bear.
No one who errs unwillingly is evil.
