It is wretched business to be digging a well just as thirst is mastering you.
You drown him by your talk.
Man is not man, but a wolf to those he does not know.
Things we not hope for often come to pass than things we wish.
Slander-mongers and those who listen to slander, if I had my way, would all be strung up, the talkers by the tongue, the listeners by the ears.
When you fly from temptation, don't leave a forwarding address. Where there's smoke there's fire.
