By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.
When befriended, remember it; when you befriend, forget it.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
One today is worth two tomorrows.
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
He that lives upon hope will die fasting.
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
He that speaks much, is much mistaken.
