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.
Little friends may prove great friends.
Keep your place in life and your place will keep you
Uninvited guests are often most welcome when they leave
Acquaintance softens prejudice.
Straw shows which way the wind is blowing.
