It is a characteristic of the human mind to hate the man one has injured.
It is more reverent to believe in the works of the Deity than to comprehend them.
Crime, once exposed, has no refuge but in audacity.
It is of eloquence as of a flame; it requires matter to feed it, and motion to excite it; and it brightens as it burns.
The lust of dominion burns with a flame so fierce as to overpower all other affections of the human breast.
The worst crimes were dared by a few, willed by more and tolerated by all.
