Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
Half a truth is often a great lie.
Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
Tomorrow, every Fault is to be amended; but that Tomorrow never comes.
Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
Beware of the little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.
Well done is better than well said
