You can't reason with the heart; it has its own laws, and thumps about things which the intellect scorns.

Laws control the lesser man. Right conduct controls the greater.

Laws are sand, customs are rock. Laws can be evaded and punishment escaped, but an openly transgressed custom brings sure punishment.
