A cup concealed in the dress is rarely honestly carried.
The higher the tower, the greater the fall thereof.
Had the crow only fed without cawing she would have had more to eat, and much less of strife and envy to contend with. [To noise abroad our success is to invite envy and competition.]
He who is upright in his way of life and free from sin.
Despise not sweet inviting love-making nor the merry dance.
Painters and poets have equal license in regard to everything.
