I confess freely to you, I could never look long upon a monkey, without very mortifying reflections.

I confess freely to you, I could never look long upon a monkey, without very mortifying reflections

Say what you will, 'tis better to be left than never to have been loved.

You never monkey with the truth.

To confess a fault freely is the next thing to being innocent of it
