When a nation's young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung.
A man without self-restraint is like a barrel without hoops, and tumbles to pieces.
It will not do to be saints at meeting and sinners everywhere else.
Truths are first clouds; then rain, then harvest and food.
Men go shopping just as men go out fishing or hunting, to see how large a fish may be caught with the smallest hook.
No matter who reigns, the merchant reigns.
