He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
Lost time is never found again.
Beware of the little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.
Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?
If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.
As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.
