when the BLIND lead the blind..
the CAT, the rat, and Lovell the dog..
in the COUNTRY of the blind..
DIVIDE and rule
whosoever DRAWS his sword against the prince..
the FISH always stinks from the head downwards
GOD is high above, and the tsar is far away
the KING can do no wrong
the MOUNTAINS are high, and the emperor is far away
he that cannot OBEY cannot command
REVOLUTIONS are not made with rose-water
the VOICE of the people is the voice of Godrumour
BELIEVE nothing of what you hear..
a LIE is halfway round the world..
no SMOKE without fire
what the SOLDIER said isn’t evidence
a TALE never loses in the tellingsafety see security
seasons see calendar lore; weather lore
secrecy see concealment
security
it is BEST to be on the safe side
BETTER be safe than sorry
one HAND for yourself and one for the ship
beware of an OAK..
OUT of debt, out of dangerSAFE bind, safe find
there is SAFETY in numbersself-help
EVERY man is the architect of his own fortune
GOD helps them that help themselves
