Sorrow, like rain makes roses and mud.
Those who cook up stories will get into hot water.
If you combine all the spectral rays into a single beam, you get white light; and, if you combine all the virtues into a single beam, you get charity.
The bigger the dam of patience, the worse the flood when the dam breaks.
The milk of human kindness should be brought fresh to the table every morning.
If you keep your eyes so fixed on heaven that you never look at the earth, you will stumble into hell.
