― Samuel Johnson, Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia

“Be not too hasty,” said Imlac, “to trust or to admire the teachers of morality: they discourse like angels, but they live like men.”
― Samuel Johnson, Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia

“Respect for right conduct is felt by every body.”
― Jane Austen, Emma
