Since thou are not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour |
Singularity in the right hath ruined many happy those who are convinced of the general opinion |
Sloth and Silence are a Fool's Virtues |
Sloth like rust, consumes faster than labor wears, while the used key is always bright |
Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy |
Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry, all things easy. He that rises late must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night, while laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes him. |
So much for industry, my friends, and attention to one's own business; but to these we must add frugality if we would make our industry more certainly successful. A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose all his life to the grindstone, and die not worth a grout at last. |
Some are weather-wise, some are otherwise. |
Some have learnt many Tricks of sly Evasion, Instead of Truth they use Equivocation, And eke it out with mental Reservation, Which is to good Men an Abomination. |
Some men grow mad by studying much to know, But who grows mad by studying good to grow. |
Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75. |
Some punishment seems preparing for a people who are ungratefully abusing the best constitution and the best King any nation was ever blessed with, intent on nothing but luxury, licentiousness, power, places, pensions, and plunder; while the ministry, divided in their counsels, with little regard for each other, worried by perpetual oppositions, in continual apprehension of changes, intent on securing popularity in case they should lose favor, have for some years past had little time or inclination to attend to our small affairs, whose remoteness makes them appear even smaller. |
Sorrow is dry. |
Speak and speed: the close mouth catches no flies. |
Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody |
