It Is Better To Fall Among Crows

As Rust Corrupts Iron, So Envy Corrupts Man.

As Iron Is Eaten Away By Rust, So The Envious Are Consumed By Their Own Passion.

It Is Better To Fall In With Crows Than With Flatterers; For In The One Case You Are Devoured When Dead, In The Other Case While Alive.

We Weed Out The Darnel From The Corn And The Unfit In War, But Do Not Excuse Evil Men From The Service Of The State.

When Brothers Agree, No Fortress Is So Strong As Their Common Life.
