Who is so deaf or so blind as is he that willfully will neither hear nor see?
If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.
Don't put the cart before the horse.
Let the world wagge, and take mine ease in myne Inne.
Children and fooles cannot lye.
Put your toong in your purse.
