There is a lust in man no charm can tame: Of loudly publishing his neighbor's shame: On eagles wings immortal scandals fly, while virtuous actions are born and die.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Lust is to the other passions what the nervous fluid is to life; it supports them all, lends strength to them all ambition, cruelty, avarice, revenge, are all founded on lust.
Lust and greed are more gullible than innocence.
Charming people live up to the very edge of their charm, and behave as outrageously as the world lets them.
Ambition is a lust that is never quenched, but grows more inflamed and madder by enjoyment.
When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.
Virtues, like viruses, have their seasons of contagion. When catastrophe strikes, generosity spikes like a fever. Courage spreads in the face of tyranny.
They sin who tell us Love can die: with Life all other passions fly, all others are but vanity.
Lust's passion will be served; it demands, it militates, it tyrannizes.
There is no sinfulness in the will and affections without some error in the understanding. All lusts which a natural man lives in, are lusts of ignorance.
There is no personal charm so great as the charm of a cheerful temperament.
