Proverbs False and True. October 21.

1 min read · Chapter 315 of 393
There is no falser proverb than that devil's beatitude, "Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall never be disappointed." Say rather, "Blessed is he who expecteth everything, for he enjoys everything once at least, and if it falls out true, twice also."

Prose Idylls. 1857.
