Heaven takes care that no man secures happiness by crime.
The guilty is he who meditates a crime; the punishment is his who lays the plot.
Disgrace does not consist in the punishment, but in the crime.
To err is human; but contrition felt for the crime distinguishes the virtuous from the wicked.
Often the test of courage is not to die but to live.
Ofttimes the test of courage becomes rather to live than to die.
