Bloom where you are planted. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king. The greatest law is the law of the people. You will die a terrible death soon. We will not know the worth of water till the well is dry.
Good advice jars the ear.
Every person is the architect of his own fortune. Beware the one-armed man. Life is a dashing and bold adventure. Being prepared for any emergency means keeping a good disguise handy. You will have luck in your personal affairs.
