Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best. The friendship that can cease has never been real. Beauty when unadorned is adorned the most. The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart. Marriage is good for those who are afraid to sleep alone at night. True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks. When the stomach is full, it is easy to talk of fasting. Why do you not practice what you preach. It is worse still to be ignorant of your ignorance. A fat paunch never breeds fine thoughts.
