Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy. When you have bought one fine thing, you must buy ten more, that your appearance may be all of a piece; but it is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.

No gains without pains.

We are a kind of posterity in respect to them.

The sleeping fox catches no poultry.

Keep flax from fire, and youth from gaming.

One today is worth two tomorrows. Lost time is never found again. Time is money. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff that life is made of. You may delay, but time will not.

When nature gave us tears, She gave us leave to weep.
