PROVERBS OF HELL
In seedtime learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
Drive your cart and plow over the bones of the dead.
The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
She who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence.
The cutworm forgives the plow.
She, whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.
All wholesome food is caught without a net or a trap.
Bring out number weight & measure in a year of dearth.
No bird soars too high, if she soars with her own wings.
The most sublime act is to set another before you
If the fool would persist in her folly she would become wise.
Folly is the cloche of knavery.
Prisons are built with stones of Law, Brothels with bricks of Religion.
Excess of sorrow laughs. Excess of joy weeps.
The fox condemns the trap not himself.
Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.
The bird a nest, the spider a web, woman friendship.
Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.
Think in the morning, Act in the noon, Eat in the evening, Sleep in the
night.
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
Expect poison from the standing water.
You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough.
The eyes of fire, the nostrils of air, the mouth of water, the beard of
Earth.
The weak in courage is strong in cunning.
If others had not been foolish, we should be so.
To create a little flower is the labor of ages.
The head Sublime, the heart Pathos, the genitals Beauty, the hands & feet
Proportion.
Exuberance is Beauty.
Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement,
are roads of Genius?
Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse-enacted desires.
Where man is not nature is barren.
Between two moments, bliss is ripe.
