There is nothing to be learned from the second kick of a Mule. Mark Twain He is not well-bred that cannot bear ill-breeding in others. What costs little is little esteemed. What God wills no frost can kill.
What is new is not true, what is true is not new. What the eye doesn’t see the heart doesn’t grieve over. The squeakiest wheel gets the most grease. The wheel of fortune is forever in motion.
This was from yesterday. I forgot to hit post... He is risen!!! When all speak, no one hears. When children stand quiet, they have done something wrong. When things are at the worst, they will mend. The world is a whet-stone and man is a knife.
One whip is good enough for a good horse; for a bad one, not a thousand. No whip cuts so sharply as the lash of conscience. Whispering tongues can poison truth. You can’t tame a bear with a whistle.
An art requires a whole man. All sweets are not wholesome. Spit in a whore’s face and she’ll say it’s raining. Every why has a wherefore. A wicked companion invites us all to hell.
We expect children to know what they want to do the rest of they're life by the time they're 20. How could they possibly know that when they haven't lived half their working lives?
A wicked man is afraid of his own memory. A wicked man is his own hell. A girl receives—a widow takes, her husband. It is cheaper to find a wife than to feed one. A quiet wife is mighty pretty. He that takes a wife takes care.
A fat kitchen makes a lean will. Will is character in action. Women and their wills are dangerous ills. Everybody lays his load on the willing horse. Where the will is ready the feet are light.
The azz that carries wine drinks water. Take counsel in wine, but resolve afterwards in water. A lie has no legs, but a scandal has wings. There’s a time to wink as well as to see.
