Blot out, correct, insert, refine, enlarge, diminish, interline. Be mindful, when invention fails. To scratch your head and bite your nails.
A secret is seldom safe in more than one breast.
Reason is a very light rider, and easily shook off.
I'm as old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth.
Let a man be ne'er so wise, he may be caught with sober lies.
A fig for your bill of fare; show me your bill of company.
