One man’s justice is another’s injustice; one man’s beauty, another’s ugliness; one man’s wisdom, another’s folly.
Crime and punishment grow out of one stem. Punishment is a fruit that, unsuspected, ripens with the flower of the pleasure that concealed it.
There is one other reason for dressing well, namely that dogs respect it, and will not attack you in good clothes.
