One entered the world, Denis pursued, having ready-made ideas about everything. One had a philosophy and tried to make life fit into it. One should have lived first and then made one's philosophy to fit life...Life, facts, things were horribly complicated; ideas, even the most difficult of them, deceptively simple.

Proverb
He who has been bitten by a snake fears a piece of string.
He who knows he who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool, shun him; He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a child, teach him. He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep, wake him. He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise, follow him.
It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.
It is as wrong for one person to rule many as for many to rule one.
Leo Tolstoy
There are four things every person has more of than they know; sins, debt, years, and foes.
