Those who in quarrels interpose.
Must often wipe a bloody nose. [ Gay ]

Would you wipe with the water and wash with the towel? [ Proverb ]

Charity will rather wipe out the score than inflame the reckoning. [ Proverb ]

Let me wipe off this honorable dew, that silverly doth progress on thy cheeks. [ William Shakespeare ]

Love to make others happy; yes, surely at all times, so far as you can. But at bottom that is not the aim of any life. Do not think that your life means a mere searching in gutters for fallen creatures to wipe and set up.... In our life there is no meaning at all except the work we have done. [ Carlyle ]
