Pride that dines on vanity sups on contempt.
Франклин, Бенджамин
Since thou art not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour.
A plowman on his legs is higher than a gentleman on his knees.
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
If you would sleep soundly, take a clear conscience to bed with you.
Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.
Be civil to all, sociable to many, familiar with few.
He that lives upon hope will die fasting.
He, who sacrifices freedom for the sake of security, deserves neither.
Serving God is doing good to man, but praying is thought an easier service and therefore more generally chosen.
For in politics, what can laws do without morals?
