Scandals

“Dead scandals form good subjects for dissection.”

“Anyone who uses the power at his disposal in such a way that it leads others to do wrong becomes guilty of scandal and responsible for the evil that he has directly or indirectly encouraged.”

“These are the spiders of society;Before he dreams of danger or of death.”

“The mightier man, the mightier is the thingFor greatest scandal waits on greatest state.”

“To converse with Scandal is to play at Losing Loadum, you must lose a good name to him, before you can win it for yourself.”

“Assail'd by scandal and the tongue of strife,Had each a brother's interest in his heart.”

“And though you duck them ne'er so long,And that this member ne'er lies still.”

“And there's a lust in man no charm can tameWhile virtuous actions are but borne to die.”

“He rams his quill with scandal and with scoff,But 'tis so very foul, it won't go off.”
