The line, often adopted by strong men in controversy, of justifying the means by the end.
When the stomach is full, it is easy to talk of fasting.
No athlete is crowned but in the sweat of his brow.
The face is the mirror of the mind and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart. -St. Jerome
To saints their very slumber is a prayer.
A fat paunch never breeds fine thoughts.
An unstable pilot steers a leaking ship, and the blind is leading the blind straight to the pit. The ruler is like the ruled.
It is worse still to be ignorant of your ignorance.
