Detect Objects

Famous quotes containing the words detect and/or objects:

“It is always right to detect a fraud, and to perceive a folly; but it is very often wrong to expose either. A man of business should always have his eyes open, but must often seem to have them shut.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“Adultery itself in its principle is many times nothing but a curious inquisition after, and envy of another man’s enclosed pleasures: and there have been many who refused fairer objects that they might ravish an enclosed woman from her retirement and single possessor.”
