Joseph De MaistreI do not know what the heart of a rascal may be, but I know what is in the heart of an honest man; it is horrible.
About This Quote
A rascal is a person of low morals. He does not have good intentions or any integrity. A person of high morals, on the other hand, is trustworthy, loyal and caring. When you are trusting someone with your hopes and dreams, you want them to be honest with you.
You don’t want them to lead you on or trick you. You do not want them to be selfish or greedy for all that they have done for you. Despicable people are those who are dishonest with others, which makes them despicable people.
