\nThere’s a time to wink as well as to see.
\nThere is no Man so bad, but he secretly respects the Good.
\nCourage would fight, but Discretion won’t let him.

\nTime enough, always proves little enough.
\nIt is wise not to seek a Secret, and Honest not to reveal it.
\nA Mob’s a Monster; Heads enough, but no Brains.
\nThe Devil sweetens Poison with Honey.
