To ask that which is unjust at the hands of the just, is an injustice in itself; to expect that which is just from the unjust, is simple folly.

It is best to know the worst at once.

To snatch the worm from the trap.

To waste one's breath; to pump into a sieve.

Let deeds match words.

If you speak insults you will hear them also.

Spice a dish with love and it pleases every palate.
