The crime and not the scaffold makes the shame.

The crime and not the scaffold makes the shame. [Fr., Le crime fait la honte et non pas l'echafaud.]

It's a shame. It's too bad that such a friendly market is being targeted with crime. It's the last place you would expect, and the kids are the ones that become the victims of it.

There are crimes that are truly uncomely. With crimes, whatever they may be, the more blood, the more horror there is, the more imposing they are, the more picturesque, so to speak, but there are crimes that are shameful, disgraceful, all horror aside, so to speak, even far too ungracious...

Flee an enemy who knows your weakness.

He who forgives readily only invites offense.
