Do good to thy friend to keep him, to thy enemy to gain him.
Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.
Better slip with foot than tongue.
Here comes the orator with his flood of words and his drop of reason.
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.
Applause waits on success.
