#consequences

For every force there is a counterforce. Wherever an army is stationed, briars and thorns grow up.

The tree that does not yield fruit is cut down; a leader without virtue is deserted.

The ruler who oppresses his subjects will soon be overthrown.

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

If a man takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand.

He who sows the seeds of thorns in the spring must not expect to harvest grapes in autumn.

The stone that rolls down the cliff cannot be recalled by shouting from the summit.
