Better a bad buy than a good loan. A base on balls is as good as a hit. A fool and his money are soon parted. Be the last to come and the first to go. There is a limit to grief but not to fear.
Concealed grudges are dangerous to friendship.
The unbidden guest is a bore and a pest. The man who disagrees with you is a bore. Don't pick women or houses by candlelight. Molasses catches more flies than vinegar. Cleverness does not take the place of knowledge.
