BLeS - La - SyL #8

I have been collecting aphorisms, proverbs, lines from songs, quotes, .... for as long as I can remember, but the other day my imaginary book of texts got attacked by a vicious bunny who tried to eat some of the words.
After a short struggle I managed to get all syllables back, but I need your help to put them back into the sentences.

Here are the rescued syllables:

a - a - a - bi - cia - cio - cla - cu - di - du - es - ig - je - len - na - no - nos - os - pren - ran - ras - rí - ro - sa - si - sig - sig - tu - va - za

and here are the incomplete sentences:

(1) El fracaso añade - - - - - perpetua en el alma.
(2) La razón es - - - - - - de los sentimientos.
(3) El odio es el lado - - - - - del amor.
(4) Las - - - - - no educan, quien lo hace son los maestros.
(5) La técnica hace al técnico, como la ignorancia al idiota.
(6) El dolor desaparece cuando el - - - - - florece.
(7) El pasado es un prólogo. El presente un 'ahora'. Y el resto es - - - - -.
(8) El que cree ser perfecto, ya refleja - - - - - de imperfección.


Please, please, please, complete these sentences with the missing words, composed of the rescued syllables.

Mind you:
- I have put them in alphabetic order.
- Each syllable is used only once.
- All words are familiar to a person with a reasonable Spanish vocabulary.
- The number of ---- is by no means an indication of the length of the missing word.


To show you what I want you to do, I solved the first one myself:
(1) El fracaso añade sa-bi-du-rí-a perpetua en el alma.

Remaining (rescued) syllables:

a - a - cia - cio - cla - cu - di - es - ig - je - len - na - no - nos - os - pren - ran - ras - ro - si - sig - sig - tu - va - za

enter image description here


Everybody is invited to play (apart from Mr Google and friends), but we do have some rules:
- Pick 1 sentence to solve and then give somebody else an opportunity to answer OR (if nobody else has posted) wait at least 6 hours before posting your next entry.
That way more people can participate,
- but, of course, nobody is stopping you from solving ALL sentences. Just don't post them all at once, please!
- Try to find your solution by combining the syllables into words that could fit into your chosen sentence, instead of using Mr Google or friends.

Good luck!
