What men call gallantry, and gods adultery, is much more common where the climate's sultry.

Women, and young men, are very apt to tell what secrets they know, from the vanity of having been trusted

Men are much more unwilling to have their weaknesses and their imperfections known than their crimes

Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; / And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? / Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

Live and lie reclined/ On the hills like Gods together, careless of mankind.

Men should be judged not by their tint of skin, the gods they serve, the vintage they drink, nor by the way they fight, or love, or sin, but by the quality of the thought they think.
