The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
Half a truth is often a great lie.
He that lives upon hope will die fasting.
An undutiful daughter will prove an unmanageable wife.
He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals.
Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.
To follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
