It is said that the darkest hour of the night comes just before the dawn.
He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.
A gift, with a kind countenance, is a double present.
Better break your word than do worse in keeping it.
The worse the passage the more welcome the port.
