For the first fourteen years for a rod they do while for the next as a pearl in the world they do shine. For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve. For the next matrons or drudges they serve. For the next doth crave a staff for a stay. For the next a bier to fetch them away.

God sendeth and giveth both mouth and the meat.

Sweet April showers do spring May flowers.

Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man.

As order is heavenly, where quiet is had, so error is hell, or a mischief as bad.

Who quick be to borrow and slow be to pay, their credit is naught, go they ever so gay.

Who goeth a borrowing. Goeth a sorrowing.
