Where the carcass is, there are the vultures gathered together.
When you heard hoofbeats, you didn’t think zebras.
When reason fails, the devil helps![Не рассудок, так бес!]

True enough, none so deaf as those who will not hear.[Qu’il n’y a point de pires sourds que ceux qui ne veulent point entendre.]
Think before you speak. Read before you think.
These wise ones are all so stupid. I’ve nobody to talk to.[Эти умники все такие глупые, что не с кем поговорить.]
These little grey cells. It is “up to them” – as you say over here.
There is truth, my boy. But the doctrine you desire, absolute, perfect dogma that alone provides wisdom, does not exist.
There is more sagacity in thy body than in thy best wisdom.
There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness.
