Years and sins are always more than owned.

Years know more than books.

Yielding is sometimes the best way of succeeding.

You cannot damage a wrecked whip.

You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

You cannot draw blood from a turnip.

You have married a beauty? So much the worse for you.

You have nobody to blame but yourself if you stumble more than once over the same stump.

You must grease the wheels if you would have the car run.

You must shift your sail with the wind.

You must take the fat with the lean.

You will not be loved if you think of yourself alone.

Your enemy makes you wiser.
