And now the lads and lasses, following the example of the birds, bill and coo together.

There are people who are always anticipating trouble, and in this way they manage to enjoy many sorrows that never really happen to them.

To enjoy a good reputation, give publicly, and steal privately.

Never teach your child to be cunning or you may be certain you will be one of the very first victims of his shrewdness.

Confess your sins to the Lord and you will be forgiven; confess them to man and you will be laughed at.

A WISE MAN never enjoys himself so much, or a FOOL so little, as when he is alone.

The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing.
