Providence sees to it that no man gets happiness out of crime.

Heaven takes care that no man secures happiness by crime. [It., Oh! ben provvide il cielo, Ch' uom per delitto mai lieto non sia.]

The guilty is he who meditates a crime; the punishment is his who lays the plot. [It., Il reo D'un delitto e chi'l pensa: a chi l' ordisce La pena spetta.]

Disgrace does not consist in the punishment, but in the crime. [It., Non nella pena, Nel delitto e la infamia.]

To err is human; but contrition felt for the crime distinguishes the virtuous from the wicked

The guilty is he who meditates a crime; the punishment is his who lays the plot.
