Look before you leap for as you sow, ye are like to reap.

Don't learn to do, but learn in doing.

A lawyer's dream of heaven: every man reclaimed his property at the resurrection, and each tried to recover it from all his forefathers.

Don't learn to do, but learn in doing. Let your falls not be on a prepared ground, but let them be bona fide falls in the rough and tumble of the world.

If God wants us to do a thing, he should make his wishes sufficiently clear. Sensible people will wait till he has done this before paying much attention to him.

God was satisfied with his own work, and that is fatal.

There is such a thing as doing good that evil may come.
