We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. |
We hang the petty thieves & appoint the great ones to public office. |
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. |
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow. |
Every truth has two sides; it is well to look at both before we commit ourselves to either. |
It is with our passions, as it is with fire and water, they are good servants but bad masters. |
It is easy to be brave from a safe distance. |
We hang the petty thieves, but appoint the great ones to office. |
Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. |
A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety. |
