Unemployed Uncle

The more powerful and feared the man, the less profit there is in questioning him regarding his humility.  (Trust me on this.)

It may well be better to “bend than break,” but if you got a bad back it may be better to just avoid this whole axiomatic area.

Don’t ever excuse yourself until you see their fingers go for their nose.

The greater the sight, the smaller should be the tongue.

‘Tis said, “When knowledge arrives sorrow lingers,” but hell, so does an unemployed uncle.

The one singing so buoyantly in the street below is either bearing good news, or is drunk…(or is bearing the good news that he’s drunk).
