“ It is human nature to hate the man whom you have hurt. ”
Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay, falsehood by haste and uncertainty.
~ Tacitus
So obscure are the greatest events, as some take for granted any hearsay, whatever its source, others turn truth into falsehood, and both errors find encouragement with posterity.
A bad peace is worse than war.
Crime, once exposed, has no refuge but in audacity.
