Thought for the day...

Do not seek knowledge. Seek wisdom.



A cracked bell will never sound well.



What we can’t change we must bear without despair.



You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.



A stitch in time saves nine.

 

He that falls today may rise tomorrow.



The world is a ladder for some to go up and others down.



Riches have wings.



Fortune is easy to find but hard to keep.



It’s a dirty bird that fouls her own nest.

 

Don’t foul the stream and expect it to be pure.



The sleeping fox catches no poultry.



There is no wisdom like frankness.



Fraud is always in a terrible hurry.



Fraud and cunning are the weapons of the weak.

 

The truth makes us free.



If we lose our freedom we have nothing else to lose.



Better free in a foreign land than a serf at home.



Better be a bird in the wood than one in the cage.



A friend in need is a friend indeed.

 

A false friend is worse than an open enemy.



A true friend is the wine of life.



When friends meet, hearts warm.



The only way to have a friend is to be one.



You can’t live without friends and quite often you can’t live with them either.

 

Even the best friends must part.



You are your own best friend—to the end.



Beware of fair weather friends.



Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.



There are three faithful friends; an old wife, and old dog, and ready money.

 

When a man moves away from nature, his heart becomes hard.



He never was a friend who has ceased to be one.



Real friends are few and far between.



A friend to all is a friend to none.



Fire is the test of gold; adversity of friendship.

 

I cannot be your friend and your flatterer too.



Frugality when all is spent comes too late.



Patience is a bitter plant but it has sweet fruit.



Better the fruit lost than the tree.



You can’t force a fruit to ripen by beating it with a stick.

 

The full do not believe the hungry.



Fury is armed with its own madness.



The future becomes the present if we fight for it.



The future is a sealed book.



There are no gains without pains.

 

An evil gain is equal to a loss.



The gallant man needs no drums to rouse him.



All players can’t win; no gambler wins in the end.



The best gambler is the man who doesn’t.



Whenever two play, one must lose.

 

Gambling is the son of avarice and the father of despair.



In the garden more grows than the garden shows.



It is not enough to help the feeble up, but to support him after.



Generosity is more charitable than wealth.



Measure a man by what he gives as well as by what he does.
