It is only when the rich are sick that they fully feel the impotence of wealth.
Beware of the little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.
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.
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands or commanding wives.
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
Tomorrow, every fault is to be amended; but that tomorrow never comes.
