“He who is upright in his way of life and free from sin.”

Way Sin Integrity

Author:Horace

“You can t, in sound morals, condemn a man for taking care of his own integrity. It is his clear duty.

In that interior world where his thought and his emotions go seeking for the experience of imagined adventures, there are no policemen, no law, no pressure of circumstance or dread of opinion to keep him within bounds. Who then is going to say Nay to his temptations if not his conscience?”
