Each of us is a mixture of good qualities and some (perhaps)

Professor Gordon's Rule of Evolving Bryographic Systems
While bryographic plants are typically encountered in
substrata of earthy or mineral matter in concreted state,
discrete substrata elements occasionally display a roughly
spherical configuration which, in presence of suitable
gravitational and other effects, lends itself to combined
translatory and rotational motion. One notices in such cases
an absence of the otherwise typical accretion of bryophyta.
We therefore conclude that a rolling stone gathers no moss.

Anything that begins well ends badly.
Anything that begins badly ends worse.

Evil is live spelled backwards.
