Virtue in the “But”

"Justice is blind;” but she sees more than she takes official notice of. “Put something by for a rainy day;” but don’t let that lead you to forget the pleasant weather of the moment. "The world owes you a living;’’ but it’s just as well to go out and collect the debL “Old friends are best;" but every once In a while a new one turns up fit to make into an old one. “Make friends;" but don’t expect friends to make you. “Man proposes;" but, often enough, the baby disposes. "The way of the transgressor is hard;” but his wife’s is harder. "Opportunity knocks once at every door;” but if you’re knocking at the same instant you’re not likely to hear the lady.—Lippincott’s.
