What we sow in youth we reap in age; the seed of the thistle always produces the thistle.

Courtesy gives its owner a passport round the world. It transmutes aliens into trusting friends.

Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but all who come in contact with it.

A farmer travelling with his load Picked up a horseshoe on the road, And nailed if fast to his barn door, That luck might down upon him pour; That every blessing known in life Might crown his homestead and his wife, And never any kind of harm Descend upon his growing farm.

Let heaven-eyed Prudence battle with Desire.

The man who tells me an indelicate story does me an injury.

What we sow in youth we reap in age; the seed of the thistle always produces the thistle.
