You must pay for everything in this world one way and another. There is nothing free except the Grace of God. You cannot earn that or deserve it.

What have you done when you have bested a fool?

I would not put a thief in my mouth to steal my brains.

There is no knowing what is in a man's heart.

Nothing I like to do pays well.

I have known some horses and a good many more pigs who I believe harbored evil intent in their hearts. I will go further and say all cats are wicked, though often useful. Who has not seen Satan in their sly faces?

We must each of us bear our own misfortunes.
