Love the sea? I dote upon it--from the beach.
There are some people as obtuse in recognizing an argument as they are in appreciating wit. You couldn't drive it into their heads with a hammer.
He who owns the soil, owns up to the sky.
Reputations, like beavers and cloaks, shall last some people twice the time of others.
Keep your eyes and ears open, if you desire to get on in the world.
I would like to have a second chance at my first love.
