 Dare to be true. Nothing can need a lie: a fault which needs it most, grows two thereby. |
| Speak not of my debts unless you mean to pay them. |
| Love and a cough cannot be hid. |
| He that will learn to pray, let him go to sea. |
| Be calm in arguing; for fierceness makes error a fault, and truth discourtesy. |
| Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night. |
| Read as you taste fruit or savor wine, or enjoy friendship, love or life. |
| Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses, a box where sweets compacted lie. |
| Life is half spent before we know what it is. |
| Throw away thy rod, throw away thy wrath; O my God, take the gentle path. |
| Do not wait; the time will never be "just right." Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along. |
| A lean compromise is better than a fat lawsuit. |
| Many kiss the hand they wish cut off. |
| One sword keeps another in the sheath. |
| Night is the mother of counsels. |
| Better never begin than never make an end. |
| The shortest answer is doing. |
| Never was a miser a brave soul. |
| War makes thieves and peace hangs them. |
| Skill and confidence are an unconquered army. |
