Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.
Well done is better than well said
You may delay, but time will not.
Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.
He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
