Wise men say nothing in dangerous times
-Aesop
The injuries we do and those we suffer are seldom weighed in the same scales.
The little reed, bending to the force of the wind, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed over.
Vices are their own punishment
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten.
He who shares the danger ought to share the prize.
Children are not to be blamed for the faults of their parents.
A word in season is most precious.
