to shift for oneself

A rolling stone gathers no moss

to convert defeat into victory

target of public criticism

You must reap what you have sown

Honest advice is unpleasant to the ear

mainstay, chief cornerstone

Put the troops in death ground and they will live

Homer sometimes nods

A wise man is free from perplexities

Hitch your wagon to a star

Deliberate deception

Talk is cheap

be an armchair strategist

Truth will out

Truth will come to light sooner or later

He who feels contented is rich

Happy is he who is content

It's easy to know men's faces, but not their hearts

Know your enemy and know yourself
