No kettle is so crooked you can't find a lid to fit it.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

"Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man... It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition is gone, pride is gone."
