Thought for the day...

The best things in life are free.

Possession is nine tenths of the law.

Great possessions are great cares.

A poor man has no friends.

Better be poor than wicked.

 

Better poor with honor than rich with shame.

Poor men’s words have little weight.

The poor must dance as the rich pipe.

It’s a poor family that has neither a whore nor a thief in it.

A light purse makes a heavy heart.

 

Poverty parts friends.

Poverty is not a shame, but being ashamed of it is.

There is no virtue that poverty does not destroy.

Better an empty purse than an empty head.

He who has nothing fears nothing.

 

It is more easy to praise poverty than to bear it.


Poverty and love are hard to hide.


Poverty shows us who our friends are and who are our enemies.


The traveler with empty pockets may laugh in the bandit’s face.


When poverty comes in at the door love flies out at the window.

 

Keep your powder dry.


Power can achieve more by gentle means than by violence.


You can’t live on promises.


Practice what you preach.


Self praise is no recommendation.

 

Necessity teaches how to pray.


Affliction teaches a wicked man to pray, prosperity never.


God helps the sailor, but he must still row.


None can pray well but he that lives well.


He who lives well is the best preacher.

 

Preachers can talk but never teach unless they practice what they preach.


What ripens fast does not last.


He who knows only his side of the case knows little of that.


Prejudice is the reason of fools.


When judgment is weak the prejudice is strong.

 

The golden age was never the present age.


Enjoy the present moment and don’t grieve for tomorrow.


Leave tomorrow for tomorrow.


Prevention is better than cure.


It is pride, not nature, that craves much.
