All temptations are found in either hope or fear. A good beginning makes a good ending. A stumble may prevent a fall. A hero is a man who is afraid to run away. A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder.
Crooked logs make straight fires.
A joy that's shared is a joy made double. A puff of wind and popular praise weigh the same. Everyone must row with the oars he has. An idle brain is the devil's workshop. Vows made in storms are forgotten in calms.
