Horace
“The wearer best knows where the shoe pinches.”
Irish Proverb
“A pinch of praise is worth a pound of scorn. A dash of encouragement is more helpful than a dipper of pessimism. A cup of kindness is better than a cupboard of criticism.”
William Arthur Ward
“I can tell where my own shoe pinches me.”
