Others' Scandals Are Scandalous But Ours Have Reasons.



(Out on the road yesterday, I slept in a hotel where scandal brought down a mighty politician.)



There is a lust in man no charm can tame:
Of loudly publishing his neighbour's shame:
On eagles wings immortal scandals fly,
while virtuous actions are born and die.

- William Harvey


We lecture on other people's scandals
And justify on our own.

You find out who your real friends are when you're involved in a scandal.

- Elizabeth Taylor


You find them out by the distance they keep.
