Aphorisms Evil contains within the seeds of its own destruction. Memory is a crazy woman that hoards colored rags and throws away food. A hole is nothing at all, but you can break your neck in it. Those who believe it is all right to tell little white lies soon grow color blind. If you keep your eyes so fixed on heaven that you never look at the earth, you will stumble into hell.
