The
Bigger the tomb, the smaller the man.
The
weaker the case, the thicker the brief.
The
Deeper the pain, the older the wound.
The
graver the loss, the dryer the tears.
The
truer the shot, the slower the aim.
The
quicker the kiss, the sweeter the taste.
The
viler the crime, the vaguer the guilt.
The
louder the price, the cheaper the ring.
The
higher the climb, the sheerer the slide.
The
steeper the odds, the shrewder the bet.
The
rarer the chance, the brasher the risk.
The
colder the snow, the greener the spring.
The
braver the bull, the wiser the cape.
The
shorter the joke, the surer the laugh.
The
sadder the tale, the dearer the joy.
The
longer the life, the briefer the years.
