Though the vicious can sometimes pour affliction upon the good, their power is transient and their punishment certain; and that innocence1, though oppressed by injustice2, shall, supported by patience, finally triumph over misfortune!
Ann Radcliffe (1764 - 1823), The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764

Ann Radcliffe (1764 - 1823), The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764
Our character...is an omen6 of our destiny, and the more integrity we have and keep, the simpler and nobler that destiny is likely to be.

In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity.
Meister Eckhart
