There is nothing useless to men of sense
It is a double pleasure to deceive the deceiver
Lynx-eyes to our neighbors, and moles to ourselves
Let us not be so difficult; the most accommodating are the cleverest.
It is double pleasing to trick the trickster.
In all matters one must consider the end.
Patience and the passage of time do more than strength and fury.
Patience and passage of time do more than strength and fury.
Well, my friend, get me out of danger. You can make your speech afterwards.
They are too green, he said, and only good for boobies.
