Platitudes
A man with one watch knows what time it is.
A man with two watches is never quite sure.
1. Everything depends.
2. Nothing is always.
3. Everything is sometimes.
“World conquerors sometimes become fools, but fools never become world conquerors.”
Жизнь прожить — не поле перейти
[Life’s a bitch.]
[Well, okay. lit., to live through life is not as simple as crossing a field. Happy now?]
Russian proverb (guess so!)
You can fool some of the people all of the time,
and all of the people some of the time,
but you can make a fool of yourself anytime.
You can get much further with a kind word and a gun than you can with a
kind word alone.
Al Capone (1899-1947)
When the blind lead the blind they will both fall over the cliff.
Chinese proverb
