“Reality surpasses the poem.”

If a blind one leads another, they both fall together.

The walls have ears.

Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things will be yours.

If you buy what you don’t need, you steal from yourself.

Injury makes you wise.

Better late than never.

In the realm of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

One swallow does not a summer make.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

You cannot ask more of an ox than a steak.

It is easy to be prudent in hindsight.

The sun also has its spots.

Nothing is so good that it can’t be made better.

When you’re speaking about the trolls, they’re standing in the entrance hall listening.

When distress is the greatest, help is the nearest.

You are always closest to yourself.
