    Good deeds are the language of the soul.

    If you are willing to do only what is easy, life will be hard. If you are willing to do what is harder, your life will be easier.

    The last insult smarts the most.

    The last drop makes the cup run over.

    Who doesn’t come at the right time must take what’s left.

    Until you get comfortable with being alone, you will never know if you are choosing someone out of love or out of loneliness.

    It’s too late to spare when the bottom is bare.

    It is too late to cover the well when the child is drowned.

    It’s too late to learn how to box when you are in the ring.

    It’s never too late to mend.

    We are asleep until we fall in love.

    Only people who are capable of loving can suffer great sorrow.

    The dawn comes only once each day.

    When you love someone, you love them as they are, not as you’d like them to be.

    He who laughs last laughs best.

    Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone.

    A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market.

    Better no law than laws not enforced.

    New laws, new monkey business.

    Where law ends tyranny begins.

    Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.

    The rich fleeces the poor and the lawyer fleeces both.

    A liar and a lawyer are rare guest in Heaven.

    The longer the lawsuit the larger the lawyer’s fee.

    Lawsuits were invented to make lawyers rich.

    Fond of lawsuits, little wealth; fond of doctors, little health.

    Laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes him.

    A lazy girl and a warm bed are hard to separate.

    Laziness has no boosters but many pals.

    You must step back to make the better leap.

    It is never too late to learn.

    Learn the luxury of doing good.

    Soon learned, soon forgotten.

    Men of learning are plain men.

    Learning makes a good man better and a bad man worse.

    One learns by doing.

    We should learn from the mistakes of others.

    We are never too old to learn.

    ‘Tis harder to unlearn than to learn.

    A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

    If you have no courage you must have fast legs.

    Leisure without culture is death.

    Big spenders are bad lenders.

    If you lend to the poor you get your interest from God.

    If you are looking for enemies, lend money to your friends.

    The leopard can’t change his spots.

    Let your neighbor skin his own skunk.

    Married couples tell each other a thousand things without speaking a word,

    Let him that itches scratch himself.

    It pays to be on the level.

    Genius, like water, will find its level.

    No man likes to be surpassed by men of his own level.

    All men love liberty.

    Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

    Liberty is not license: you endanger liberty by abusing it.


    Liberty, like charity, must begin at home.


    Solve one problem and keep 100 others away.
