Substance is not enough, accident is also required.
Much smoke, and little roast.
Life | Life | Television | World | Understand |
Revenge a hundred years old has still its milk-teeth.
Save something for the man that rides on the white horse.
Skill or fortune will efface the spots.
Evidence | Feelings | Little | People | Understand |

Rather have a little one for your friend, than a great one for your enemy.
