I do not deny that what happened to us is a thing worth laughing at. But it is not worth telling, for not everyone is sufficiently intelligent to be able to see things from the right point of view.

Nor has his death the world deceiv'd than his wondrous life surprise d; if he like a madman liv'd least he like a wise one dy'd.

The guts carry the feet, not the feet the guts.

Facts are the enemy of truth.

Valor lies just halfway between rashness and cowardice.

Thou art a cat, and a rat, and a coward.

Time ripens all things; no man is born wise.
