Thought for the day...

When I was in grade school there was a coke machine and it did cost a nickel!

 

Pride goes before a fall.


Pride in prosperity turns to misery in adversity.


The highest tree has the greatest fall.


The nobler the blood the less the pride.


He who swells in prosperity will sink in adversity.

 

The higher the hill, the lower the grass.


Every azz loves to hear himself bray.


Many princes sin with David, but few repent with him.


A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.


The printing press is the mother of errors.

 

Many run in the race but only one wins the prize.


A thousand probabilities do not make one truth.


One of these days is none of these days.


Procrastination is the thief of time.


The prodigal robs his heir, the miser robs himself.

 

A miserly father makes a prodigal son.


The best horse needs breaking and the child needs teaching.


When the blind man carries the lame man, both go forward.


A fool that confesses is a fool that progresses.


A promise is a debt.

 

Be slow to make a promise but swift to keep it.


Better to break your word than do worse by keeping it.


There are no greater promisers than those who have nothing to give.


Promises don’t fill the belly.


Whoever makes no promises has none to perform.

 

Expect nothing from him who promises a great deal.


He that promises too much, means nothing.


Promise little and do much.


He that comes first may sit where he will.


The man without property looks upon property as theft.

 

No man is a prophet in his own country.


Don’t excavate a mountain to catch a rat.


Prosperity destroys fools and endangers the wise.


Prosperity gains friends and adversity tries them.


In prosperity, think of adversity.


In time of prosperity, friends will be plenty; in time of adversity, not one in twenty.

 

Pull down your hat on the wind side.


A proud man is always a foolish man.


God hangs the greatest weights on the smallest wires.


Providence assists not the idle.


The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.

 

Trust in God, and keep your powder dry.


Never try to prove what nobody doubts.


It is good to go afoot with a horse in hand.


Abandon not your old clothes till you get your new.


Put by for a rainy day.

 

I’d rather have them say, “There he goes,” than, “Here he lies.”


Don’t whistle until you’re out of the woods.


Don’t wash your dirty clothes in public.


The proof of the pudding is in the eating.


Better some of the pudding than none of the pie.
