Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.
An undutiful daughter will prove an unmanageable wife.
Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.
To find out a girl’s faults, praise her to her girl friends.
You may delay, but time will not.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
