He that can have Patience, can have what he will. God helps them that help themselves. Why does the blind man's wife paint herself. None preaches better than the ant, and she says nothing. The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
Gifts burst rocks.
If wind blows on you thro' a hole, Make your will and take care of your soul. The rotten Apple spoils his Companion. He that sells upon trust, loses many friends, and always wants money. Don't throw stones at your neighbours, if your own windows are glass. The excellency of hogs is fatness, of men virtue.
