He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
Lost time is never found again.
Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands or commanding wives.
As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.
When befriended, remember it; when you befriend, forget it.
