kick down the ladder

Have one's true face situation

waste one's breath(waste one's words; whistle down the wind)

Out of the ordinary

to replace somebody

nothing to avoid or to fear(There are no restrictions at all.)

absurd statement

change from danger into safety

be seized with crazy ideas

do no evil even in a place where no one can see

sit with the light in one's hand till morning

depart(devia-te) from the cardinal things and seek for the minor one's

old and young(white-haired old men and babes)

corrupt public morals

a palace decorated with precious stones,bright pearls and dotted with sea shells--the palace for the god of water

One's feeling are mixed.

a succession of large waves

have an axe to grind

drain the cup of bitterness to the dregs

Clumsy birds have to start flying early--the slow need to start early.
