With foxes we must play the fox.

Despair gives courage to a coward.

It is madness for sheep to talk peace with a wolf.

A man surprised is half beaten.

He that has a great nose, thinks everybody is speaking of it.

All doors open to courtesy.

What cannot be altered must be borne, not blamed.

If a man falls once, all will tread upon him.

Be the business never so painful, you may have it done for money.

A generous confession disarms slander.
