No Favor Can Win Gratitude

The Fastidious Are Unfortunate: Nothing Can Satisfy Them. [lat., Les Delicats Sont Malheureux, Rien Ne Saurait Les Satisfaire.]

Foxes Are All Tail, And Women All Tongue.

As Sheepish As A Fox Captured By A Fowl. [fr., Honteux Comme Un Renard Qu'une Poule Aurait Pris.]

From A Distance It Is Something; And Nearby It Is Nothing.

By Time And Toil We Sever What Strength And Rage Could Never.
