Man is so made that when anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish.
From Jean de La Fontaine
It is twice the pleasure to deceive the deceiver.
A hungry stomach cannot hear.
Better a living beggar than a buried emperor.
By the work one knows the workman.
Every journalist owes tribute to the evil one.
Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.
Everyone calls himself a friend, but only a fool relies on it; nothing is commoner than the name, nothing rarer than the thing.
The fastidious are unfortunate; nothing satisfies them.
We must laugh before we are happy, for fear we die before we laugh at all.
