“But thus I counsel you, my friends: Mistrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful. They are people of a low sort and stock; the hangmen and the bloodhound look out of their faces.

And when they call themselves the good and the just, do not forget that they would be pharisees, if only they had—power.”

our words will not be heard
nor welcomed
but when we are silent
we are still afraid
So it is better to speak
remembering

“Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls:

Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed.”
