Behind an able man there are always other able men.
Deal with the faults of others as gently as with your own.
Fools are like other folks as long as they are silent.
A flatterer has water in one hand and fire in the other.
Wolves never gossip about each other.
One hand washes the other and both wash the face.
Depend on your walking stick, not on other people.
Don't tell others to do what you cannot do.
Every madman thinks all other men mad.
Witch doctors do not sell their potions to each other.
A rich widow weeps in one eye and laughs with the other.
If you are not good for yourself, how can you be good for others?
Lovers always think that other people are blind.
The wise understand; fools follow the reports of others.
A rich widow weeps with one eye and signals with the other.
If your beard's on fire, others will light their pipes on it.
…for what after all is Youth and Beauty?
Holiness was always something richly dim.
What Reason weaves, by Passion is undone.
I never tired of picturing sharks.
Shoulders are from God, and burdens too.
