    Slavery is a weed that grows in every soil.

    Slavery enchains a few; more enchain themselves to slavery.

    The sign of slavery is to have a price and to be bought for it.

    He is still a slave whose limbs alone are freed.

    Better the devil’s than a woman’s slave.

    The blow that liberates the slave sets the master free.

    None can be free who is a slave to his passions.

    As the slave departs the man returns.

    He that is one man’s slave is free from none.

    Lean liberty is better than fat slavery.

    Too much bed makes a dull head.

    Better slip with the foot than with the tongue.

    Sloth is the key to poverty.

    It is a sorry fool that will not bear his own burden.

    Nothing seek, nothing find.

    No sweet without sweat.

    Slow at meat, slow at work.

    2 Peter 3:10-11 (New International Version)
    But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives

    The slumberers are the prey of the wakeful.

    The smallest fishes bite the fastest.

    Better the last smile than the first laughter.

    A bad conscience is a snake in one’s heart.

    A fox is not caught twice in the same snare.

    A sneer cannot be answered.

    Sneer are poor weapons at best.

    The filth under the white snow the sun discovers.

    Snow is the poor man’s fertilizer.

    Soft words win hard hearts.


    All are not soldiers who go to wars.

    Away from the battle all are soldiers.

    He is not a good soldier who fights with his tongue.
