IDIOM: DISCRETION IS THE BETTER PART...

 

Discretion is the better part of valor Lo cortés no quita lo valiente

Be discrete because discretion, as Shakespeare said, is the better part of valor Seamos corteses porque, como dijo Sakespeare, lo cortés no quita lo valiente

— “Rather than risk trying to give the enormous slab of muscle a spanking, canny team bosses decide that discretion is the better part of valour and hire a child...” Empire Online, 10 June, 2004. UK.
