All your better deeds / Shall be in water writ, but this in marble. |
All your better deeds / Shall be in water writ, but this in marble. |
As men / Do walk a mile, women should talk an hour, / After supper. 'Tis their exercise. |
Bad's the best of us. |
But what is past my help is past my care. |
Daisies smell-less, yet most quaint, / And sweet thyme true, / Primrose, first born child of Ver, / Merry Spring-time's harbinger. |
Envy, like the worm, never runs but to the fairest fruit; like a cunning bloodhound, it singles out the fattest deer in the flock. |
Faith without works is like a bird without wings; though she may hop with her companions on earth, yet she will never fly with them to heaven. |
Honor's a thing too subtle for wisdom; if honor lie in eating, he's Right Honorable |
I'll put a spoke among your wheels. |
Interest makes some people blind, and others quick-sighted |
It is always good/ When a man has two irons in the fire. |
It is more noble by silence to avoid an injury than by argument to overcome it |
Kiss till the cow comes home. |
Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep. |
