Thought for the day...

A sneer is the weapon of the weak.

If you want a neat wife, choose her on a Saturday.

The man who knows most knows most his own ignorance.

He who would save should begin with his mouth.

 

If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as of getting.

Lay up something for a rainy day.

Penny and penny laid up will be many.

Between saying and doing there is a long road.

 

A scab is a scab, even if you smear honey on it.

A false scale is hated even by God.

Every one that repeats it adds something to the scandal.

Foul linen should be washed at home.

 

Praise undeserved is scandal in disquise.

Who is always looking for mud generally finds it.

Free thinkers are generally those who never think at all.

 

Great scholars are not the shrewdest men.

Every good scholar is not a good schoolmaster.

Wonder is the seed of science.

Science is nothing but good sense and reason.

Much science, much sorrow.

 

He scolds most that can hurt the least.

Scripture, like Nature, lays down no definitions.

Better poor on land than rich on the sea.

Search others for their virtues and yourself for your vices.

 

The tiles which protect you in the wet season were fabricated in the dry.

Provision in season makes a comfortable home.

Secrecy is the soul of all great designs.

A woman always thinks it takes two to keep a secret.

 

Beware a door that has too many keys.

If you wish another to keep your secret, first keep it to yourself.

If you would not have your enemy know your secret, don’t tell it to your friend.

Tell your secret to your servant and you make him your master.

 

To whom you reveal your secret you yield your liberty.

He that is too secure is not safe.

The seeds of great things are often small.

Seldom seen, soon forgotten.

 

What we see we usually believe.

He that seeks finds.

Be a friend to yourself and others will be so too.

Self-confidence is the first requisite of great undertakings.
