UNQUOTABLE QUOTES - XLIII(Continued) A black-listed writer tops every publisher’s reading list. Half a loaf is better than no love. Don’t dig your ears while tying your shoe laces. Just wear slippers. Eat only what’s available in the stable if you’re able to put it on the table. A friend in need is a friend who feeds your greed. Take care of the Ps and the wife will take good care to Pound you. A journey of a thousand miles ends with the last step, said Old Tse. Kill not the brother-in-law, not until the sister is dead. If you butter your bread on both sides, you’ll better learn the art of licking hands. Hang not the hangman with his own noose. Make sure to shoot him before you hang him. Even a blind cat has to rat-race. Take the load off your own fat before you scat. Shoot to kill only if your will will not let you stand still. A marked man is the marksman’s man. A dime a dozen always turns up when you’re frozen. He who cries thief - even in mischief - is often the chief of the thieves. Turn coat and betray the holes in your shirt. A snake in the grass cannot tell leather souls from top brass. Early to bed makes the lass grow stealthy, squelchy and full of lice but nice. Immolate yourself and learn that you can moult your soul. Even if you’re forced to burn your boats, you'll always stay afloat by eating oats. Where there’s a will, there’s no giving way/away. Run with the hares and you’ll surely drop into snares. Hunt with the hounds and you’ll surely make many kinds of sounds. Run with the hares and hunt with the hounds and you’ll eat yourself out-of-bounds. Birds of a feather pay the same tailor. What goes up bursts into fireworks before it comes down in fluff and ash. All that glitters cannot be sold unless you run your own tv show. If you judge books by their torn covers, you’ll probably end up singing Op(e)rah in Amanpour. If you kick the can down the street often enough, you’ll end up in the Women’s World Cup canned. (c) T. Wignesan - Paris, June 18, 2019
