Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Shame take him that shame thinketh. (Strauss, 1994 p. 806)
Ye knowe eek, that in forme of speche is chaunge Withinne a thousand yeer, and wordes tho That hadden prys, now wonder nyce and straunge Us thinketh hem; and yet they spake hem so, And spedde as wel in love as men now do; Eek for to winne love in sondry ages, In sondry londes, sondry ben usages.
Geoffrey ChaucerLet him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.
