Before you consult your fancy, consult your purse.
He that pays for work before it's done, has but a pennyworth for two pence.
He that lives upon hope will die fasting.
There cannot be good living where there is not good drinking.
The sun of liberty is set; you must light up the candle of industry and economy.
Evils come not, then our fears are vain; And if they do fear but augments the pain.
