You seek water from a stone. You seek wool from a donkey. You should eat plentifully of the flesh of the turtle or not at all. You should know a man seven years before you stir his fire. You should only believe half of what you see, and none of which you hear. You stick in the same mire. You talk to a deaf man. You talk to a wall. You teach the dolphin to swim. You teach the dolphin to swim.
