nil conscire sibi, nulla pallescere culpa.]

A quotation from Euripides

HELEN: Men think me wicked, though I did no wrong:
   And for the innocent to bear the load
   Of guilt is worse than wickedness itself.
 
[ἙΛΈΝΗ: πρῶτον μὲν οὐκ οὖσ᾽ ἄδικος, εἰμὶ δυσκλεής:
   καὶ τοῦτο μεῖζον τῆς ἀληθείας κακόν,
   ὅστις τὰ μὴ προσόντα κέκτηται κακά.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Helen [Ἑλένη], l. 270ff (412 BC) [tr. Sheppard (1925)]
