—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Ignominy in ransom and free pardon
Are of two houses; lawful mercy
Is nothing kin to foul redemption.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a snake.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Ecclesiastes 10:8.
