Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all

You can't tell anyone anything. You have to teach people for them to remember. Let the person experience what you are teaching and they will learn.

Be civil to all; serviceable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.

If we are industrious, we shall never starve; for, at the workingman's house hunger looks in, but dares not enter. Nor will the bailiff or the constable enter, for industry pays debts, while despair increaseth them.

As often as we do good, we sacrifice.

There's no gain, without pain.

Let thy maid servant be faithful, strong, and homely.
