Greene wood makes a hott fire.
He that hath children, all his morsels are not his owne.
Happie is hee that chastens himselfe.
Take heede of an oxe before, of an horse behind, of a monke on all sides.
Frenzy, Heresie, and Jealovsie, seldome cured.
Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
