  1. A quotation from Shakespeare

    RICHARD: And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover

       And hate the idle pleasures of these days.

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Richard III, Act 1, sc. 1, l. 28ff (1.1.28-31) (1592)

  5. A quotation from Euripides

    MEDEA: I shall never accept the favors of friends of yours,
       Nor take a thing from you, so you need not offer it.
       There is no benefit in the gifts of a bad man.
     
    [ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: οὔτ᾽ ἂν ξένοισι τοῖσι σοῖς χρησαίμεθ᾽ ἂν
       οὔτ᾽ ἄν τι δεξαίμεσθα, μηδ᾽ ἡμῖν δίδου:
       κακοῦ γὰρ ἀνδρὸς δῶρ᾽ ὄνησιν οὐκ ἔχει.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 616ff (431 BC) [tr. Warner (1944)]

  6. A quotation from Euripides

    MEDEA: O Zeus, why did you give men certain ways
       to recognize false gold, when there’s no mark,
       no token stamped on the human body,
       to indicate which men are worthless.
       
    [ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: ὦ Ζεῦ, τί δὴ χρυσοῦ μὲν ὃς κίβδηλος ᾖ
       τεκμήρι᾽ ἀνθρώποισιν ὤπασας σαφῆ,
       ἀνδρῶν δ᾽ ὅτῳ χρὴ τὸν κακὸν διειδέναι
       οὐδεὶς χαρακτὴρ ἐμπέφυκε σώματι;]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 516ff (431 BC) [tr. Johnston (2008)]

  9. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    We ought to beware of people who do not think it necessary to pretend that they are good and decent. Lack of hypocrisy in such things hints at a capacity for a most depraved ruthlessness.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 200 (1955)

  17. A quotation from Moliere

    DON LOUIS: No, no, birth is nothing where virtue is not. […] Know that a man of noble birth who leads an evil life is a monster in nature; virtue is the prime title of nobility; I care much less for the name a man signs than for the deeds he does; and I should feel more esteem for the son of a porter who was a true man, than for the son of a king who lived as you do.
     
    [Non, non, la naissance n’est rien où la vertu n’est pas. […] Apprenez enfin qu’un gentilhomme qui vit mal est un monstre dans la nature ; que la vertu est le premier titre de noblesse ; que je regarde bien moins au nom qu’on signe, qu’aux actions qu’on fait, et que je ferais plus d’état du fils d’un crocheteur, qui serait honnête homme, que du fils d’un monarque qui vivrait comme vous.]

    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
    Don Juan [Dom Juan], Act 4, sc. 6 (1665) [tr. Page (1908)]

  18. A quotation from C. C. Colton

    He that is good will infallibly become better, and he that is bad will as certainly become worse; for vice, virtue, and time are three things that never stand still.

    Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
    Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 457 (1820)
