Some men, like a wet dog, sprinkle a shower of advice over you when you are least prepared for a bath.
The bigger the dam of patience, the worse the flood when the dam breaks.
Those who cook up stories will get into hot water.
No matter who you are, you will be put abed at last with a shovel.
Truth lives in the cellar, error on the doorstep.
Moral progress is a process of isolation; the mountain tops are lonely.
