Fair and softly goes far.<\/p>\n
Fear has many eyes and can see things underground.<\/p>\n
For a man to attain to an eminent degree in learning costs him time, watching, hunger, nakedness, dizziness in the head, weakness in the stomach, and other inconveniences.<\/p>\n

Jests that give pains are no jests.<\/p>\n
Laziness never arrived at the attainment of a good wish.<\/p>\n
Liberty, as well as honor, man ought to preserve at the hazard of his life, for without it life is insupportable.<\/p>\n
My grandma (rest her soul) used to say, “There were but two families in the world, have-much and have-little.”<\/p>\n
Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.<\/p>\n
No padlocks, bolts, or bars can secure a maiden better than her own reserve.<\/p>\n
Nor has his death the world deceiv’d than his wondrous life surprise d; if he like a madman liv’d least he like a wise one dy’d.<\/p>\n
One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world will be better for this.<\/p>\n
Our greatest foes, and whom we must chiefly combat, are within.<\/p>\n
Our hours in love have wings; in absence, crutches.<\/p>\n

Truth may be stretched, but cannot be broken, and always gets above falsehood, as does oil above water.<\/p>\n
Valor lies just halfway between rashness and cowardice.<\/p>\n
When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive.<\/p>\n
When thou art at Rome, do as they do at Rome.<\/p>\n
