If you had half as much brains as you have beard, you would have looked before you leaped.
He who plots to hurt others often hurts himself.
Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.
It pays to be content with your lot.
Wise men say nothing in dangerous times
He that is discontented in one place will seldom be happy in another.
