There never was a good knife made of bad steel.

There is nothing so absurd as knowledge spun too fine.

One good husband is worth two good wives, for the scarcer things are, the more they are valued.

Better slip with foot than tongue.

If you ride a horse, sit close and tight, if you ride a man, sit easy and light.

Eat to live, not live to eat.

But our great security lies, I think, in our growing strength.
