Wealth maketh many friends. Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. There is no new thing under the sun.
Character is much easier kept than recovered.
Man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. Lost time is never found again. The sleep of a labouring man is sweet. Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other. A word to the wise is sufficient.
