Unquotable Quotes: Xliv - Tongue-Teasing Epigrams
UNQUOTABLE QUOTES: XLIV

A pain in the ass is a pain nevertheless.
A « race" in any other language is still the shape of the nose.
Every cloud hides shining gold that reveals the silver lining.
It’s the darkest cloak which keeps its silver from jingling in its lining.
