Before you act, it's Prudence soberly to consider; for after Action you cannot recede without dishonour: Take the Advice of some Prudent Friend; for he who will be his own Councellour, shall be sure to have a Fool for his Client.

— William De Britaine

Phidias made the statue of Venus at Elis with one foot upon the shell of a tortoise, to signify two great duties of a virtuous woman, which are to keep home and be silent.

The Wages of Sin is Death; it's poor Wages that will not make a Man live; as Virtue is its own Reward, so Sin is its own Executioner.
