Lay this unto your breast: Old friends, like old swords, still are trusted best.
Eagles commonly fly alone. They are crows, daws, and starlings that flock together.
Gold that buys health can never be ill spent, Nor hours laid out in harmless merriment.
When a man's mind rides faster than his horse can gallop they quickly both tire.
Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.
Poor maids have more lovers than husbands.
