Truth should not be dressed up.
Visits always give pleasure -- if not at the arrival, then at the departure.
Visits always give pleasure -- if not the arrival, the departure.
What is bought is cheaper than a gift.
What was hard to bear is sweet to remember.
Where there is no might, right gets lost.
Women and glasses are always in danger.
