    To define a truth is to limit its scope.


    Out of the mouths of babes come words of wisdom.


    Truth is the gate of justice.


    Speak the truth and embarrass the devil.

    Truth is too heavy for most people to bear.


    Try your friend before you have need of him.


    Try your skill in gilt first, and then in gold.


    Every tub smells of the wine it holds.


    When you begin to turn in bed, it is time to turn out.

    Two blacks do not make a white; two wrongs don’t make a right.


    You have two ears and one tongue; therefore hear twice as much as you speak.


    Two fools in one house are too many.


    Two in distress make trouble less.

    A thing may be sweet to the taste and prove sour to the digestion.


    Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.


    A tyrant never knows true friendship nor perfect liberty.


    Tyrants imitate God and dwindle into the brute.

    Thankfully we have the Bible to set the standard for truth.

    If only that was everyone's standard. Unfortunately we are becoming the minority quick in this country.

    The ideals and values that built this country and made it different (better than everywhere else) are a thing of the past most places.

    Ugliness is the guardian of women.


    Beauty is only skin deep but ugliness is forever.


    An ugly woman dreads the mirror.


    If all the world were ugly deformity would be no monster.


    Don’t kiss an ugly girl; she’ll tell the world about it.

    An ulcer and a bird do not choose where to appear.


    Two things the traveler easily forgets; his umbrella and the truth.


    Have an umbrella ready before you get wet.


    Better to be unborn than unbred.


    All between the cradle and the coffin is uncertain.

    If you make people think they are thinking they will love you. If you really make them think, they will hate you.


    As long as someone says he can’t do this or that it becomes almost impossible for him to do it.


    The best and easiest way to be happy is to make others happy.


    Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm.

    Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason so few engage in it. Henry Ford


    If you need something done quickly, give it to a busy man.


    You are better off making mistakes than not making decisions.


    No matter how careful you say or write something, some will misunderstand it.
