Blood is thicker than water. Comparisons are odious. Company in distress makes trouble less. What a man has by nature lasts to his grave. You can't change a leopard's spots.
Good breeding is the blossom of good sense.
Once a thief always a thief. Laughing on the outside, crying on the inside. Tired Nature's sweet restorer, sleep. The course of true love never runs smooth. While there is life there is hope.
