When we fail to use our brains, the losses far outweigh the gains.
Truth, like light, is often slanted.
Only lend money that you can afford to lose, because more often than not,
you will.
They say it's black, you say it's brown, I say it's brindle. We all see the same
thing through different eyes.
Truth, like light, is sometimes bent.
The ones who are dwarfed by glass ceilings, bump their heads, break through on the way up, then emerge as giants!
Advice is free! Whether you take it or adhere to it,
you've neither lost nor paid a cent!
Revenge is the fool's way of dealing with pain!
Don't be afraid to take advice from a fool, sometimes he's smarter than you.
A wish is but a dream we never share!
Don't tell me what I cannot do; let me show you what I can do.
If you are reluctant to take advice from a fool, don't be! Oftentimes he is just a reflection of you.

How deep this shave of night,
whose ebon glassine pool
spills chromium stars
to light an onyx sea.
This frigid hem of night.
The wind is still as death,
while Winter calls,
without remorse,
to chill your warm,
sweet breath.
