Honore de Balzac
Conscience is a cudgel which all men pick up in order to thwack their neighbors instead of applying it to their own shoulders.
Honore de Balzac
White hair often covers the head, but the heart that holds it is ever young.

Those sweetly smiling angels with pensive looks, innocent faces, and cash-boxes for hearts.
