uspected. --FIELDING. All the other passions condescend at times to accept the inexorable logic of facts; but jealousy looks facts straight in the face, ignores them utterly, and says that she knows a great deal better than they can tell her.--HELPS. The jealous man's disease is of so malignant a nature that it converts all it takes into its own nourishment.--ADDISON. Trifles light as air Are to the jealous confirmations strong As proofs of holy writ. --SHAKESPEARE. Jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.--SONG OF SOLOMON 8:6.

One man's word is no man's word; we should quietly hear both sides. --GOETHE. Men are not to be judged by their looks, habits, and appearances; but by the character of their lives and conversations, and by their works. --L'ESTRANGE.
