Well done is better than well said
Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.
To follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.
Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.
Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?
