    All men of action are dreamers.



    Many go to take their clothes to church rather than themselves.



    Drink does not drown care, but waters it, and makes it grow faster.



    What soberness conceals, drunkenness reveals.



    Alcohol and gasoline don’t mix.

    The dunce wonders, the wise man asks.



    The wise man has learned from the dunce more than once.



    The wise man knows he knows nothing; the dunce thinks he knows all.



    Things we use in moderation last long.



    Duties are ours, events are God’s.

    Duty before pleasure.



    It is better to trust the eye than the ear.



    Walls have ears.



    The early bird catches the worm.



    Keeping late hours sends you to an early grave.

    Rise with the sun and enjoy the day.



    It is easier to pull down than to build.



    It is always easier to pin the blame on others than to pin the blame on ourselves.



    Easier to go down than up.



    Easier said than done.

    It is easier to hurt than to heal.



    Too far east is west.



    It’s easy to be generous with another man’s money.



    Nothing is easy to the unwilling.



    A thing easy to get is easy to lose.

    The glutton has two stomachs to eat but no stomach for work.



    We are what we eat.



    An army marches on its belly.



    A full belly makes a dull brain.



    The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.

    More die of food than of famine.



    Fresh pork and new wine kill a man before his time.



    An apple a night puts the dentist to flight.



    Listen at the keyhole and you’ll hear news of yourself.



    Don’t start economizing when you are down to your last dollar.

    Live within your means and save for a rainy day.



    In hard times the wise man cuts his expenses; the foolish spendthrift cuts his throat.



    From small profits and many expenses, comes a whole life of sad consequences.



    Great boast, small roast.



    Economy is the easy chair of old age.

    A man at the edge of his patience is all on edge.



    Nothing is worth more than a mind well instructed.



    You must plow with such oxen as you have.



    A bad workman quarrels with his tools.



    One nail drives out another.
