A man's venom poisons himself more than his victims.
In life, as in Chess, ones own Pawns block ones way. A mans very wealth, ease, leisure, children, books, which should help him to win, more often checkmate him
Proverbs are potted wisdom.
Few things are more bitter than to feel bitter.
In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
Bad temper is its own scourge. Few things are more bitter than to feel bitter. A man's venom poisons himself more than his victim.
