"With hundreds of trills ...."

“With hundreds of trills it changes its notes at ease

On trees high and low, amid red and purple mountain flowers;

One realises that to listen to its singing in the golden cage

Is not as good as letting it sing at will in the forest.”

"It's not what he's doing to you ...."

“It’s not what he’s doing to you, it’s what you’re not doing.”

... it is not what a ship is for

I don’t care how the wind blows, “a ship in harbor is safe, but it is not what a ship is for”.

... "if the end brings me wrong ...."

I don’t care if you think I’m right, “if the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference”.

...I'll 'be careful for nothing'

I don’t care if I seem rash, I’ll ‘be careful for nothing’.

"All us have schnozzles...."

“All of us have schnozzles.  That is, we are ridiculous in one way or another; if not in our faces, then in our characters, in our minds, or in our habits.  When we admit our schnozzles instead of defending them, we begin to laugh and the world laughs with us.”

'Rest satisfied with doing well ...."

“Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk to you as they please.”

Pythagoras
