You may delay, but time will not.
Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.
When befriended, remember it; when you befriend, forget it.
Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands or commanding wives.
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
Beware of the little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.
