He that blows the coals in quarrels that he has nothing to do with, has no right to complain if the sparks fly in his face. - Ben Franklin

To the generous mind the heaviest debt is that of gratitude, when it is not in our power to repay it.

He that sells upon Credit expects to lose 5 per Cent. By bad Debts; therefore he charges, on all he sells upon Credit, an Advance that shall make up that Deficiency.

There cannot be good living where there is not good drinking.

Drink does not drown care, but waters it, and makes it grow faster.

Spare when young, and spend when old.

Men's minds do not die with their bodies but are made more happy or miserable after this life according to their actions.
