You must not, when you have gained a victory, use any triumphing or insulting expressions, nor show too much of the pleasure you feel; but endeavour to console your adversary, and make him less dissatisfied with himself by every kind and civil expression that may be used with truth; such as, you understand the game better than I, but you are a little inattentive, or, you play too fast; or, you had the best of the game, but something happened to divert your thoughts, and that turned it in my favour.

Practice makes perfect.

God helps those who help themselves.

Keep flax from fire, and youth from gaming.

Squeamish stomachs cannot eat without pickles.

There are no ugly loves nor handsome prisons.

It's the easiest thing in the world for a man to deceive himself.
