![]() One of them actually choked up at the thought of this monumental loss. I saw a couple of seniors from the school addressing the board (or some such body) and saying they weren't going to get a chance to leave high school as champions, due to something they had no knowledge of. #22 ::: Xopher Halftongue ::: (view all by) ::: October 12, 2014, 03:16 PM:Īpparently in that town football is more important than anything. You can’t have more bedbugs than a blanketful. Who gossips with you will gossip about you. Where the river is deepest it makes the least noise. When you are talking about marriage, think about your mother. What is much desired is not believed when it comes. What have you to hide from someone who shows you his arse? What a fool does in the end, the wise do in the beginning. To drunken mothers-in-law give full jugs. There were already twenty in the family, so my grandmother had a baby. There is a great art in selling the wind. The wolf loses his teeth but not his inclinations. The turd is proud that the river will carry it. The treason pleases, but the traitors are odious. The patient who names a doctor his heir makes a big mistake. The more you flatter a fool, the more seriously he plays his game. The king goes as far as he may, not as far as he could. The judge’s son goes into the courtroom without fear. The foolish sayings of a rich man pass for wise ones. The first drink with water, the second without water, the third like water. The empty purse boasts that she is made of leather. The cat always leaves her mark upon her friend. The advice of foxes is dangerous for chickens. Talking about bulls is altogether different from being in the arena. Take what you want, God said to man, and pay for it. Since I wronged you, I have never liked you. Pay me back what you owe me we’ll talk later about what I owe you. One drink is just right two is too many three are too few. One can’t ring the bells and walk in the procession. Old age is cruel for whores and magicians. Of what you see, believe very little of what you are told, nothing. Not everyone who wears spurs owns a horse. Never let a poor man advise you on investments. Many things grow in the garden that were never sown there. Lovers always think that other people are blind. Love is like war: you begin when you like and leave off when you can. Love can do much, money can do everything. Laws, like the spider’s web, catch the fly and let the hawk go free. It’s better to arrive on time than to be invited. It is no fun to guard a house with two doors. It is good to have friends, even in hell. In the absence of honest men, they made my father mayor. In large rivers one finds big fish, but one may also be drowned. If your wife tells you to throw yourself off a cliff, pray to God that it is a low one. If your enemy is up to his waist in water, give him your hand if the water reaches his shoulders, stand on his head. If you would be pope, you must think of nothing else. If you want to sleep well, buy the bed of a bankrupt. If you have nothing better to do, go to bed with your own wife. If you can’t bite, don’t show your teeth. If three people say you are an ass, put on a bridle. If fools went not to market, bad wares would not be sold. I’ve fried my sausage in better pans than these. I know they are all honest men, but my cloak is nowhere to be found. ![]() ![]() How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward. He who was first an acolyte, and afterwards an abbot or curate, knows what the boys do behind the altar. ![]() He who is a Basque, a good Christian, and has two mules, needs nothing more. He that has no children brings them up well. Halfway is twelve miles when you have fourteen miles to go. God is a good worker, but He loves to be helped.
