If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time. |
If you desire many things, many things will seem but a few |
If you do what you should not, you must hear what you would not. |
If you have something to do tomorrow, do it today. |
If you have time don't wait for time |
If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the Philosophers-Stone |
If you ride a horse, sit close and tight: If you ride a man, sit easy and light |

If you wou'd be reveng'd of your enemy, govern your self |
If you wou'd have Guests merry with your cheer, Be so your self, or so at least appear |
