To set a mark we can seldom hit is not an honest game. We take good care not to be righteous according to the laws of God, and we make it impossible to be righteous according to our own. From the same sheet of paper on which a judge writes his sentence against an adulterer, he tears off a piece to scribble a love note to his colleague's wife. - Michele de Montaigne
