United we stand; divided we fall |
Vices are their own punishment |
Vices are their own punishment |
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. |
We often despise what is most useful to us |
We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction |
We should look to the mind, and not to the outward appearance. |
We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified. |
Wealth unused might as well not exist. |
What a splendid head, yet no brain. |
While I see many hoof-marks going in, I see none coming out. |
Yield to all and you will soon have nothing to yield |
You may share the labors of the great, but you may not share the spoil |
