Thought for the day...

Misfortune can be a good teacher.

Misfortunes seldom come alone.

It’s a man’s job to bear misfortune lightly.

Sorrow is laughter’s daughter.

After you fling, watch for the sting.

 

Sadness and gladness succeed each other.

Any port in a storm.

Everyone can master a grief but he that has it.

He preaches patience that never knew pain.

No sunshine without a shadow.

 

Ill news is too often true.

I wept when I was born and every day shows why.

Small sorrows speak; great ones are silent.

Every heart has its own ache.

Light burdens carried far are heavy.

 

Women can tolerate everything—except each other.

Learn from the mistakes of others and prevent your own.

Wise men learn by others mistakes; fools by their own.

The man who makes no mistakes usually makes nothing.

Misunderstanding brings lies to town.

 

No one would talk much in society if he only knew how often he misunderstood others.

A mob is a monster with many hands, heads and no brains.

Never overdrive the best horse alive.

Moderate riches will carry you; if you have more, you must carry them.

Moderation is the inseparable companion of wisdom.

 

Drink moderately, love moderately, live moderately; everything in moderation.

Don’t trust people too much—or too little.

Do not tempt fate.

Too much of a thing is good for nothing.

Enough is as good as a feast.

 

Don’t bite off more than you can chew.

He that commences many things finishes few.

Modest dogs miss much meat.

Modest humility is beauty’s crown.

Without modesty beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable.

 

Modesty, when she goes, is gone forever.

Don’t hide your light under a basket.

Modesty is like the snow: when it melts it is gone forever.

Monday is the key of the week.

Monday religion is better than Sunday profession.

 

Money talks.

Bad money always comes back.

Make money your servant, not your master.

Put not your trust in money, but your money in trust.

Money is the sinews of love as well as of war.

 

Don’t throw good money after bad.

Talk is but talk: but it is money that buys land.

Money is a bottomless sea in which honor, conscience and truth may be drowned.

He that is of the opinion that money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.

Nothing but money is sweeter than honey.
