Be bad, but at least don’t be a liar, a deceiver![Быть дурною, но по крайней мере не лживою, не обманщицей!]

A man may have no bad habits and have worse.
A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward.
‘Tis easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.
