Far more seemly to have thy study full of books, than thy purse full of money.

The finest edge is made with the blunt whetstone.

As love knoweth no lawes, so it regardeth no conditions

Thou art an heyre to fayre lying, that is nothing, if thou be disinherited of learning, for better were it to thee to inherite righteousnesse then riches, and far more seemly were if for thee to haue thy Studie full of bookes, then thy pursse full of mony.

Long quaffing maketh a short lyfe.

The soft droppes of rain perce the hard marble.
