You must rave with the insane, unless you would be left alone. You reap the crop of another. You reap what you sow. You sail in the same boat. You seek for fruit in the garden of Tantalus. 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 teach the dolphin to swim.
