Morality is the custom of one's country and the current feeling of one's peers

Custom, that is before all law; Nature, that is above all art.

Custom is the plague of wise men and the idol of fools.

Custom is the principle magistrate of man's life.

We do everything by custom, even believe by it; our very axioms, let us boast of free-thinking as we may, are oftenest simply such beliefs as we have never heard questioned.

There is no tyrant like custom, and no freedom where its edicts are not resisted.
