“Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.”
“What memories cling ’round the instruments of our pleasure.”
Men often applaud an imitation and hiss the real thing.
Words may be deeds.
“Better humble security than gilded danger.”
“Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.”
“Nature will out.”
“We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.”
Wit has always an answer ready.
It is easier to get into the enemy’s toils than out again.
