Persuades when speaking fails. --Shak.

Banished from man's life his happiest life,
Simplicity and spotless innocence! --Milton.

innocence
(wn) | innocence
n 1: the quality of innocent naivete [syn: artlessness,

offense; "the trial established his innocence" [ant: guilt,

2. The law presumes in favor of innocence, even against another

within the space of twelve months after her husband had left the country,
the presumption of innocence preponderates over the presumption of the
continuance of life. 2 B. & A. 386 3 Stark. Ev. 1249. An exception to this
rule respecting the presumption of innocence has been made in the case of
the publication of a libel, the principal being presumed to have authorized
the sale, when a libel is sold by his agent in his usual place of doing
business. 1 Russ. on Cr. 341; 10 Johns. R. 443; Bull. N. P. 6; Greenl. Ev.
