People lend only to the rich. |
People who have little to do are excessive talkers. |
Persuasion is better than force. |
Philosophy bakes no bread |
Plain as water |
Plaster thick, some will stick. |
Play a harp before a cow |
Politeness travels on short fares |
Possession is nine tenths of the law |
Poverty has no greater foe than bashfulness. |
Praise makes good people better and bad people worse. |
Pray devoutly, but hammer stoutly |
Pray to God, but hammer away. |
Precept guides, but example draws. |
Prevention is better than cure |
