    There is a roman saying, “the one who enters conclave as the pope [to be] leaves it as a mere cardinal”

      There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.

      A very old one indeed. It’s never certain how conclaves will go.
