Do well and right, and let the world sink |
Drink not the third glass which thou canst not tame / When once it is within thee. |
Drink not the third glass, which thou canst not tame, when once it is within thee. |
Fly the pleasure that bites tomorrow |
Follow not truth too near the heels, lest it dash out thy teeth. |
Go not for every grief to the physician, nor for every quarrel to the lawyer, nor for every thirst to the pot |
God heals, and the physician hath the thanks |
Good words are worth much, and cost little. |
Great wealth always supports the party in power, no matter how corrupt it may be. It never exerts itself for reform, for it instinctively fears change. |
Half the world knows not how the other half lies |
He hath no leisure who useth it not. |
He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven |
He that hath lost his credit is dead to the world. |
He that hath love in his breast hath spurs in his side |
He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise. |
