But the fighter still remains.
The Boxer
Song lyrics, Bridge over Troubled Water (1970)
“He who flatters a man is his enemy. he who tells him of his faults is his maker.”
“His only fault is that he has no fault.”
Nihil peccat, nisi quod nihil peccat.
Letter 26, 1.
Letters, Book IX
“He who cuts off his nose takes poor revenge for a shame inflicted on him.”
Male ulciscitur dedecus sibi illatum, qui amputat nasum suum.
