A Republic, if you can keep it.
If you desire many things, many things will seem few.
If we do not hang together, we shall surely hang separately.
If you want to be loved, love and be loveable.
If you wou'd be reveng'd of your enemy, govern your self
If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality.
If you do tomorrow what you did today , you will get tomorrow what you got today
If you have a secret and tell someone everyone will know. You can only keep a secret if you don't tell anyone.
If you want to make a friend, let someone do you a favor.
Don't overload Gratitude; if you do, she'll kick.
If you would not be forgotten, do things worth remembering.
If better is possible, good is not enough
If you have something to do tomorrow, do it today.
If you have time don't wait for time.
