writers and poets

steer according to the wind

strong defence

Strike awe into one's heart

unexpected misfortune

be a petty theft

trim the sails

Everything is easy.

Rocks may crumble and oceans may dry up.

seek far and neglect what lies close at hand(go round the sun to meet the moon)

flatter those in high position and despise those of lower ramks

be equal to the occasion(cut one's coat to fit one's cloth)

Track down sb. By following clues

Die for the sake of the country

explain something difficult simply and clearly

wonderful stratagem

Old, crafty person

be fascinated
