Adultery Quotations
Passion is the evil in adultery. If a man has no opportunity of living with another man's wife, but if it is obvious for some reason that he would like to do so, and would do so if he could, he is no less guilty than if he was caught in the act.
Saint Augustine
Adultery is the application of democracy to love.
H. L. Mencken
Society can overlook murder, adultery or swindling; it never forgives preaching of a new gospel.
Edmund Burke
