Roman - Philosopher

Vices that are familiar we pardon, and only new ones reprehend.

Publilius Syrus

Of all vices take heed of drunkenness; other vices are but fruits of disordered affections--this disorders, nay, banishes reason; other vices but impair the soul--this demolishes her two chief faculties, the understanding and the will; other vices make their own way--this makes way for all vices; he that is a drunkard is qualified for all vice.

Francis Quarles

We tolerate without rebuke the vices with which we have grown familiar.

Publilius Syrus

Seneca the Younger

I pardon him, as God shall pardon me.

William Shakespeare

We make ourselves a ladder out of our vices if we trample the vices themselves underfoot.

Saint Augustine

I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending.

Fred Rogers

Mum once told Dad that vices are only vices when looked at through the frame of society.

I love the president Donald Trump. He supports law enforcement and I'm very humbled. I said publicly, recently, pardon or no pardon, I will be with him until the end.

Joe Arpaio

Pardon all runners, All speechless, alien winds, All mad waters. Pardon their impulses, Their wild attitudes, Their young flights, their reticence. When a message has no clothes on How can it be spoken.
