Caesar's wife

In Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 3.12 Srila Prabhupada quotes a Bengali verse, which he translates as "Even if I see that Lord Nityananda has entered a liquor shop, I shall not be diverted from my conclusion that Nityananda Raya is the Supreme Personality of Godhead." And, along similar lines, Srila Prabhupada has written in letters that 'Caesar's wife must be above suspicion.' This tells us something about the difference between imitation and following in the footsteps.

Srila Prabhupada was fond of quoting proverbs - from English literature, from the Bengali, and from Chankya Pandit. Here's another, from his Bhagavad-gita As It Is. He begins the purport to 4.14 by saying: "As there are constitutional laws in the material world stating that the king can do no wrong,.." This, interestingly, is traceable to Sir William Blackstone (1723- 1780) who is supposed to have said, "That the king can do no wrong is a necessary and fundamental principle of the English constitution."
