The fangs of a bear, and the tusks of a wild boar, do not bite worse and make deeper gashes than a goose-quill sometimes; no, not even the badger himself, who is said to be so tenacious of his bite that he will not give over his hold till he feels his teeth meet and the bones crack.

Distance sometimes endears friendships, and sweetens it - for separation from those we love shows us, by the loss, their real value and dearness to us.

This life at best is but an inn, and we the passengers.

Man's best candle is his understanding.

He that hath money in his purse cannot want a head for his shoulders.

Love is the life of friendship.

Owe money at Easter and Lent will seem short to thee.
