Mistakes you can learn from; sins stay with you forever.
All sins have their origin in a sense of inferiority otherwise called ambition.
Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.
Being an old farm boy myself, chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad; they've always made me glad.
