    Consult with the old and fence with the young.



    Fevers come on horseback but go away on foot.



    A fickle memory is bad; a fickle course of conduct is worse; but a fickle heart and purposes, worst of all.



    Don’t dance for every fool’s fiddle.



    Fidelity indeed is a noble virtue, yet justice is nobler still.

    Old Fogie's .... WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.
    A generation that walked to school and then walked back.
    A generation that did their homework alone to get out asap to play in the street.
    A generation that spent all their free time on the street with their Friends.
    A generation that played hide and seek when dark.
    A generation that made mud cakes.
    A generation that collected sports cards.
    A generation that found, collected and washed & Returned empty coke bottles to the local grocery store for 5 cents each , then bought a Mountain Dew and candy bar with the money.
    A generation that made paper toys with their bare hands.
    A generation who bought vinyl albums to play on record players.
    A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings.
    A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days.
    A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem.
    A generation that had parents who were there.
    A generation that laughed under the covers in bed so parents didn't know we were still awake.
    A generation that is passing and unfortunately it will never return!!..
    I loved Growing up when I did.

    Amen, brother. I did quite a few of those things, myself. Sure enjoyed the simpler times.

    I must be older than dirt. We used to get 2 cents for bottles and I also remember a coke machine by the gym where we could get a coke for 5 cents.

    When firmness is sufficient, rashness is unnecessary.



    The firm are gentle; weak men often betray their hidden savagery.



    The first hundred years are the hardest.



    First come, first served.



    You have to crawl before you can walk.

    First deserve it, then desire it.



    First learn, then discern, then burn with the light of wisdom.

    Fish begin to stink at the head; men at the feet.

    A closed fist is the lock of heaven and the open hand is the key of mercy.



    Let your quarrel be just—then get your fist in first.



    Never hit if you can avoid it, but never hit soft.



    If he’s your flatterer, he can’t be your friend.



    The flatterer’s bite is poisonous.



    Flattery is the food of fools.

    If you sleep with dogs you’ll rise with fleas.



    All flesh is as grass.



    A man who will never change his mind is he who has no mind to change.



    An old man in love is like a flower in winter.



    Flowers open without choosing the rich man’s garden.

    A rose may grow on a dunghill and a weed in the richest soil.



    The same flowers that adorn a bride are placed on a corpse.



    Painted flowers have no scent.



    Flowers are the pledges of fruit.



    If you want to lead you must be able to follow.

    Folly is an incurable disease.



    Folly and beauty walk hand in hand.



    Profit by the folly of others.



    God gives the food, but He doesn’t cook it.



    It’s foolish to fear what you can’t avoid.

    If you want to make a fool of yourself, you’ll find a lot of people ready to help you.



    Don’t give your eggs to a fool to carry.



    It is ill manners to silence a fool and it is cruelty to let him go on.



    To be intimate with a fool is like going to bed with a razor.



    A fool and his money are soon parted.



    One fool makes many.
