Thought for the day...

A solitary man is either a brute or an angel.

Solitude is sometimes the best society.

The eagle flies alone.

A good son is the light of the family.

 

A good song is none the worse for being sung twice.

A song will outlive sermons in the memory.

Every rose has its thorn.

He who has not tasted bitter knows not what sweet is.

 

The bridge between sorrow and joy is not long.

When sorrow is sleeping, don’t wake it.

Little bodies often have great souls.

When you drink from the stream, remember its source.

 

A crown is no cure for the headache.

The mule keeps a kick in reserve for its master.

Sparks become flames.

Speaking without thinking is like shooting without aiming.

 

That looks like the picture may have been taken in Northern MI.

 

Many go out for clothes and come home stripped.

Mild speech enhances the heart.

Who holds his peace and gathers stones will find a time to throw them.

More have repented speech than silence.

 

A closed mouth catches no flies.

First think, then speak.

Talk much, err much.

Least said, soonest mended.

A wise head keeps a still tongue.

 

Few words are best.

He will never get a good thing cheap that is afraid to ask the price.

Many things are lost for want of asking.

Nothing ask, nothing have.

 

A fool might be counted wise if he kept his mouth shut.

Every question requires not an answer.

Many speak much who cannot speak well.

He who spends more than he should, shall not have to spend when he would.

 

A lordly taste makes a beggar’s purse.


If you throw away money with your hands, you’ll seek it with your feet.


Who spends before he thrives, will beg before he dies.


Fine clothes will not fill the stomach.
