The better part of valor is discretion. -- William Shakespeare, "Henry IV" | |
Normally our rules are rigid; we tend to discretion, if for no other reason than self-protection. We never recommend any of our graduates, although we cheerfully provide information as to those who have failed their courses. -- Jack Vance, "Freitzke's Turn" | |
At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool. -- Menander |
