O gods, grant me this in return for my piety.

The confounding of all right and wrong, in wild fury, has averted from us the gracious favor of the gods. [Lat., Omnia fanda, nefanda, malo permista furore, Justificam nobis mentem avertere deorum.]

Let sleep itself be an exercise in piety, for such as our life and conduct have been, so also of necessity will be our dreams.

A wicked fellow is the most pious when he takes to it. He'll beat you all at piety.

The words which express our faith and piety are not definite; yet they are significant and fragrant like frankincense to superior natures.

You smile with pomp and rigor, you talk of benevolence and virtue; I act with benevolence and virtue and get murdered time after time.
