“The wicked flee when none pursueth.”
“None so good that he has no faults, None so wicked that he is worth naught.”
“How could I become wicked, when I had nothing but examples of gentleness before my eyes, and none around me but the best people in the world?”
“No nation was ever so virtuous as each believes itself, and none was ever so wicked as each believes the other.”
“When wealth flees, untrue friends follow.”
“Anon, to sudden silence won, In fancy they pursueThe dream-child moving through the landOf wonders wild and new,In friendly chat with bird or beast - And half believe it true.”
