Proverbs may be said to be the abridgment of wisdom.
Before you use a fancy word, make room for it.
To see the world is to judge the judges.

We must respect the past, and mistrust the present, if we wish to provide for the safety of the future.
Our ideals, like pictures, are made from lights and shadows.
