Ah yes, the gods use us mortals as footballs!
A mouse relies not solely on one hole.
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.
Spice a dish with love and it pleases every palate.
You have eaten a meal dangerously seasoned. [You have laid up a grief in store for yourself.]
Nothing is more wretched than the mind of a man conscious of guilt.
