Who is strong? He that can conquer his bad habits.
A Man of Knowledge like a rich Soil, feeds If not a world of Corn, a world of Weeds.
When Wine enters, out goes the Truth.
The cat in gloves catches no mice.
What is best for people is what they do for themselves.
He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
If you wou'd be reveng'd of your enemy, govern your self
If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting.
Make yourself sheep and the wolves will eat you.
Remember that credit is money.
Write your injuries in dust, your benefits in marble.
Drive your business. Let not your business drive you.
Take Courage, Mortal; Death can't banish thee out of the Universe.
Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.
