If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.

In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.
