| An old error is always more popular than a new truth. Charity sees the need, not the cause. God gives no linen, but flax to spin. He who has burned his mouth blows his soup. Patience is a bitter plant, but it has a sweet fruit. Take the world as it is, not as it ought to be. Who begins too much accomplished little. Who digs a pit for others will fall in themselves. Who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet. |
