Behave yoursel' before folk;
Whate'er ye do, when out o' view,
Be cautious aye before folk.

For it ought to be made in fashion; it ought not to be too curious; it ought to be shaped so as to set forth any good making of the mind, and hide any deformity; and above all, it ought not to be too straight, or restrained for exercise or motion.

FRANCIS BACON

The devil in me done been asleep too long
