Thought for the day...

Patience, time and money overcome everything.

He who does too much often does little.

Overdone is worse than underdone.

An hour of pain is as long as a day of pleasure.

Great pains cause us to forget the small ones.

Pain wastes the body; pleasures the understanding.

 

Look at paintings and fights from a distance.

Pampering a child is like a bear’s hug; it may crush him to death.

A good key is necessary to enter Paradise.

Even fools sometimes speak to the purpose.

A crooked log still makes a straight fire.

 

A ragged colt may make a good horse.

A small body may harbor a great soul.

Extremes meet.

One extreme usually follows another.

There is no rule without an exception.

 

A black hen may lay a white egg.

Great events spring from small causes.

Good things can be wrapped in small parcels.

They never pardon who have done the wrong.

He who will not pardon others must not himself expect pardon.

Pardoning the bad is injuring the good.

 

Respect the counsel of your parents.

A mad parish must have a mad priest.

Everything looks good to a lover’s partial eyes.

The partridge loves peas, but not those that go into the pot with it.

A man in a passion rides a wild horse.

 

The end of passion is the beginning of repentance.

Govern your passions, otherwise they will govern you.

He that overcomes his passions, overcomes his greatest enemies.

No man can guess in cold blood what he may do in a passion.

The passions are like fire and water, good servants but bad masters.

Where passion is high, the reason is low.

 

Money is the best passport.

The best patch is of the same cloth.

The mother knows best whether the child is like the father.

Patience wears out stones.

Patience pierces the rock.

 

All commend patience, but none can endure to suffer.

Bear and blame not what you cannot change.

Beware of the fury of the patient man.

Everything comes in time to him that can wait.

A moment’s patience is a ten-years’ comfort.

 

The remedy for hard times is to have patience.

Patience is a flower that grows not in every garden.

Patience is the key to Paradise.

He that is patient finds his foe at his feet.

Patience devours the devil.
