Thought for the day...

Honesty in our age has become conspicuous by its absence.


We sometimes are praised in the presence of others but dammed in their absence.


When the devil is absent, he leaves a flirt behind to raise hell for him.


If you accept favors from crooked people, you’ll sell yourself down the river.


If you accept nothing, you have nothing to return.

 

Don’t try to draw water with a sieve.


Don’t cast pearls before swine.


You can’t make a rope out of sand.


You can’t put out a fire with oil.


Every absurdity has a champion to defend it, for error is always talkative.

 

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination. Albert Einstein



Abundance, like want, ruins many.


You can’t have too much of a good thing.


Plenty breeds pride.


If you abuse others, don’t squawk if you are given a taste of your own medicine.


Sometimes the great events arise from accidents.

 

There’s many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip.


The accomplice is as bad as the thief.


Two heads are better than one.


That which is well done is first done.


Make haste slowly.

 

The greatest things are done by the aid of small ones.


He who would have a hare for breakfast must hunt overnight.


Acorns were good until bread was found.


It’s easy to get, but hard to keep what you get. (And sometimes hard to get rid of!)


One of your best friends is an acre of land.

 

Actions speak louder than words.


Suit the action to the word.


United we stand, divided we fall.


It’s the intention that makes an action good or bad.


We are remembered by our good actions, not by our good intentions.

 

Beware of false “knowledge,” it is more dangerous than ignorance. George Bernard Shaw

Bad actions lead to worse reactions.

The used key is always bright.

Saying and doing are two different things.

A faithless wife is the shipwreck of a home.

Life never stands still: if you don’t advance, you recede.

 

Sweet are the uses of adversity.

Adversity makes men, prosperity makes monsters.

Adversity has no friends.

Adversity makes us wise, until the next misfortune comes along.

Be patient in adversity and cautious in prosperity.

 

You must take the fat with the lean.

Every path has a puddle.

Advice after mischief is like medicine after death.

A lawyer’s advice is expensive, but it’ll cost you more if you consult yourself.

People give nothing so willingly as advice.
