Who said “People of substance may sin without being exposed for their stolen pleasure; but…”?

“She feared no danger, for she knew no sin.”

“I am a man more sinned against than sinning.”

“A ''sin'' is something which is not necessary.”

“Really to sin you have to be serious about it.”

“All sins have their origin in a sense of inferiority otherwise called ambition.”

“We seldom call anybody lazy, but such as we reckon inferior to us, and of whom we expect some service.”

“If courtesans and strumpets were to be prosecuted with as much rigor as some silly people would have it, what locks or bars would be sufficient to preserve the honor of our wives and daughters?”

“Because impudence is a vice, it does not follow that modesty is a virtue; it is built upon shame, a passion in our nature, and may be either good or bad according to the actions performed from that motive.”

“The only thing of weight that can be said against modern honor is that it is directly opposite to religion. The one bids you bear injuries with patience, the other tells you if you don't resent them, you are not fit to live.”

“No habit or quality is more easily acquired than hypocrisy, nor any thing sooner learned than to deny the sentiments of our hearts and the principle we act from: but the seeds of every passion are innate to us, and nobody comes into the world without them.”

“There is no intrinsic worth in money but what is alterable with the times, and whether a guinea goes for twenty pounds or for a shilling, it is the labor of the poor and not the high and low value that is set on gold or silver, which all the comforts of life must arise from.”
