Better short and sweet than long and lax. He that's first up is not always first served. Better good sale than good ale. Ale sellers should not be tale tellers. Be a friend to yourself and others will befriend you. Spilled wine is worse than water. Good wares make a quick market. Seeing is believing all the world over.
