Drive your business, let not you're business drive you.
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
Creditors have better memories than debtors.
Diligence is the mother of good luck.
In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.
Industry pays debts, while despair increases them.
They that will not be counseled, cannot be helped. If you do not hear reason she will rap you on the knuckles.
Drive thy business or it will drive thee.
There will be sleeping enough in the grave.
Little strokes fell great oaks.
Drive your business. Let not your business drive you.
The borrower is slave to the lender and the debtor to the creditor.
God helps them that help themselves.
