A stumble may prevent a fall.
~ Thomas Fuller
A fool's paradise is a wise man's hell.
We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.
Try to be happy in this present moment, and put not off being so to a time to come--as though that time should be of another make from this which has already come and is ours.
Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune.
He that plants trees loves others besides himself.
Many would be cowards if they had courage enough.
Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.
Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away.
A fox should not be of the jury at a goose's trial.
Good is not good where better is expected.
Old foxes want no tutors.
He that fears not the future may enjoy the present.
A good life fears not life nor death.
Light God's eldest daughter is a principal beauty in a building.
Cheat me in the price but not in the goods.
We could be cowards if we had courage enough.
A small demerit extinguishes a long service.
The number of malefactors authorizes not the crime.
The mob has many heads but no brains.
A good marksman may miss.
He that's cheated twice by the same man is an accomplice with the cheater.
He does not believe who does not live according to his belief.
Many have been the wise speeches of fools though not so many as the foolish speeches of wise men.
A good friend is my nearest relation.
Be a friend to thyself and others will be so too.
They are rich who have true friends.
The Devil himself is good when he is pleased.
Even doubtful accusations leave a stain behind them.
The devil gets up to the belfry by the vicar's skirts.
Charity begins at home but should not end there.
He that flings dirt at another dirtieth himself most.
Sickness is felt but health not at all.
What cannot be altered must be borne not blamed.
One cloud is enough to eclipse all the sun.
A coward's fear can make a coward valiant.
A danger foreseen is half avoided.
Better hazard once than always be in fear.
Seeing's believing but feeling's the truth.
