"Shun such as lounge through afternoons and eves,
And on thy dial write, "Beware of thieves!"
Felon of minutes, never taught to feel
The worth of treasures which thy fingers steal,
Pick my left pocket of its silver dime,
But spare the right, — it holds my golden time!"

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend

Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all.
