|  Better to love amiss than nothing to have loved. | | With eye upraised his master's looks to scan, The joy, the solace, and the aid of man; The rich man's guardian, and the poor man's friend, The only creature faithful to the end. | | A great lie is like a great fish on dry land; it may fret and fling and make a frightful bother, but it cannot hurt you. You have only to keep still, and it will die of itself. | | The game is never lost till won. | | Feed the musician, and he's out of tune. | | To sigh, yet not recede; to grieve, yet not repent. | | Be there a will, and wisdom finds a way. | | Our farmers round, well pleased with constant gain, Like other farmers, flourish and complain. | | To show the world what long experience gains, requires not courage, though it calls for pains; but at life's outset to inform mankind is a bold effort of a valiant mind. | | To the house of a friend if you're pleased to retire, You must all things admit, you must all things admire; You must pay with observance the price of your treat, You must eat what is praised, and must praise what you eat. | | In her experience all her friends relied, Heaven was her help and nature was her guide. |
