Remorse is the fruit of crime.
Where have you ever found that man who stopped short after the perpetration of a single crime?
One gets a cross for his crime, the other a crown.
What man have you ever seen who was contented with one crime only?
For whoever meditates a crime is guilty of the deed.
Nothing is more audacious than these women when detected; they assume anger, and take courage from the very crime itself.
Every crime will bring remorse to the man who committed it
One man meets an infamous punishment for that crime which confers a diadem on others.
For whoever meditates a crime is guilty of the deed. [Lat., Nam scelus intra se tacitum qui cogitat ullum, Facti crimen habet.]
He who meditates a crime secretly within himself has all the guilt of the act.
