Only a sweet and virtuous soul, like seasoned timber, never gives.
The Mr. absent, and the house dead.
Litle stickes kindle the fire; great ones put it out.
Had you the world on your Chesse-bord, you could not fill all to your mind.
Take heede of an oxe before, of an horse behind, of a monke on all sides.
The Chollerick drinkes, the Melancholick eats, the Flegmatick sleepes.
