May these quotes about Evaded inspire and motivate you.
Laws are sand, customs are rock.
Laws can be evaded and punishment escaped,
but an openly transgressed custom brings sure punishment.

no matter, it will be inflicted, just the same.

for a visiting stranger to do -
find out what the country's customs are,
and refrain from offending against them.
