The rose's prime lasts one brief hour of morn, That past, I find no rose - only a thorn |
The silence of a treacherous man is to be feared even more than his words |
The tongue has no bones, yet it breaks bones |
There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip. |
Think not on what you lack as much as on what you have |
Think with the wise, but talk with the vulgar |
To deceive a diplomat speak the truth, He has no experience with it |
To rebel in season is not to rebel |
Upon touching sand may it turn to gold. |
When at a loss how to go on, in speaking, cough |
When God throws the dice are loaded. |
When the fox cannot reach the grapes he says they are not ripe |
Where there is a sea there are pirates |
Who ceases to be a friend never was one. |
Wonder is the beginning of wisdom |
