To gain riches is wise; to pay for riches with happiness is foolish.
Sorrow is better than laughter; for, by the sadness of the countenance, the heart is made better.
Two are better than one,because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lif' up his fellow, but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, for he hath not another to help him up.
