Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
He that lives upon hope will die fasting.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.
Well done is better than well said
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?
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands or commanding wives.
Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.
