Lost time is never found again; and what we call time enough, always proves little enough.
The best is the cheapest.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
Well done is better than well said
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
Wars are not paid for in wartime, the bill comes later.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
