Nemo Sine Crimine
Si vitam inspicias hominum, si denique mores,
Cum culpant alios, nemo sine crimine vivit.
If on men's lives and deeds thou look'st, thou'lt see
That from those faults they blame, not one is free.
(Chase)
Test but the life and ways of them who blame
Their fellows; all, you'll find, have faults the same.
