Herman Melville

Richard Whately
Image
Be a pattern to others, and then all will go well for as a whole city is affected by the licentious passions and vices of great men, so it is likewise reformed by their moderation.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
It is not enough to be exceptionally mad, licentious and fanatical in order to win a great reputation it is still necessary to arrive on the scene at the right time.
Voltaire
Image
The love of freedom, so often invigorated and disgraced by private ambition, was reduced, among the licentious Franks, to the contempt of order, and the desire of impunity.
Edward Gibbon
