Where are the chaste women and honest men?
Quote Explanation: The saying belongs to Caesar Octavian. Chastity is a state of mind that reflects the moral qualities of a person. It implies the complete absence of any sexual contact before marriage and outside of marriage and keeping the faithful of those in marriage, that is, the rejection of fornication and adultery. An honest person is a person who keeps his obligations to the people who trusted him.
