For a wrongdoer to be undetected is difficult; and for him to have confidence that his concealment will continue is impossible.

Epicurus
Impossible, Difficult, Have Confidence
Epicurus (1964). “Letters: Principles Doctrines, and Vatican Sayings Translated, with an Introd. and Notes, by Russel M. Geor. Indianapolis Merrill”
For a wrongdoer to be undetected is difficult; and for him to have confidence that his concealment will continue is impossible.
