[QUOTE=only_human;217933]I think he meant this:[B]
il lupo perde il pelo ma non il vizio[/B] ([I]literally[/I]: the wolf can lose its fur but not its bad habits) [LIST=1][*][URL="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/leopard_cannot_change_his_spots"]leopard cannot change his spots[/URL][/LIST]
but he zinged back with this Seneca quote (I think):
[URL]http://www.archive.org/stream/adluciliumepistu01sene/adluciliumepistu01sene_djvu.txt[/URL]
Starting with a bad mechanical translation, I suppose, from this seat in the peanut gallery I call it a draw.[/QUOTE]


those two in one ...
a) wolf does not feed, lapses
b) to try sleeping in the egg shell must break

OHU = i ... ([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gevurah_(Kabbalah)"]I = 4[/URL])

ohu guessed everything



e ancora it : "u" quando molto molto fortunato se cade precipitando su un pagliaio ... SI PUNGE, infilandosi nel sedere del cammello !

Thank you for the clarification/translation.[/quote]
You're welcome (of course). I go hope you didn't feel any implied rebuke; I certainly didn't intend one. The reason I picked only_human as a handle is to remind myself to be humble. I go a little bit wack every once in a while, so to keep my text trail nice and decent, when I don't understand something I try to put the onus upon myself to see if a little Google searching can make things clearer. I love having the world at my fingertips. In that sense it truly is an age of miracles.

intent, continually setting the bars (the caged) Meanwhile turns ...

"u" said that in his words


( it )

intento, continuamente, fissando le sbarre, (l'ingabbiato)
intanto gira ...

"u" detta detto nei suoi detti

This isn't really a proverb, but I'll post it anyway:

"God made grass, man made booze. Who do you trust?"
