Words and works eat not at one table.
Choose thy friends like thy books, few but choice.
Nature, the handmaid of God Almighty, does nothing but with good advice, if we make research into the true reason of things.
In time of prosperity friends will be plenty; In time of adversity not one in twenty.
God guard me from my friends, for I shall guard myself from my enemies.
All we can do is be better prepared today than yesterday and better prepared tomorrow than today.
