Pretexts are not wanting when one wishes to use them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To the wicked, everything serves as pretext.
I don't prejudge.
I never want to be pretentious.
If you talk about preemption you better know things rather than think things.
Texting has reduced the number of waste words, but it has also exposed a black hole of ignorance about traditional - what a cranky guy would call correct - grammar.
A good example is far better than a good precept.
I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.
Presumption should never make us neglect that which appears easy to us, nor despair make us lose courage at the sight of difficulties.
Example is the best precept.
Preconceived notions are the locks on the door to wisdom.
