The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest. If you are ready to believe, you are easy to deceive. Ask the experienced rather than the learned. Rats desert a sinking ship. You can't tell a book by its cover.
Great minds think alike.
All the world loves a lover. Time is a great healer. Failure teaches success. Goodness is better than beauty. Recognize and deal with reality, no matter how unpleasant it may be.
