The Only Thing Certain Is

It Is Not Without Good Reason, That He Who Has Not A Good Memory Should Never Take Upon Him The Trade Of Lying.

A Man Must Not Always Tell All, For That Be Folly; But What A Man Says Should Be What He Thinks.

Opinion Is A Powerful Party, Bold, And Without Measure.

The Human Face Is A Weak Guarantee; Yet It Deserves Some Consideration. And If I Had To Whip The Wicked, I Would Do So More Severely To Those Who Belied And Betrayed The Promises That Nature Had Implanted On Their Brows; I Would Punish Malice More Harshly When It Was Hidden Under A Kindly Appearance.
