One good head is better than a hundred strong hands |
One may miss the mark by aiming too high as too low. |
One that would have the fruit must climb the tree. |

Poor men's reasons are not heard. |
Praise makes good men better and bad men worse |
Prayer: the key of the day and the lock of the night |
Pride had rather out of the way than go behind |
Pride perceiving humility honorable, often borrows her cloak. |
Pride will spit in pride's face. |
Prospect is often better than possession. |
Purchase not friends by gifts; when thou ceasest to give, such will cease to love. |
