    A fine genius, in his own country, is like gold in the mine.



    Gentleness corrects whatever is offensive in our manner.



    Gentle laws make happy people.



    Soft words are hard arguments.



    Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts.

    The gift of an enemy is no better than an injury.



    The gift bringer always finds an open door.



    You double your gift if you give in time.



    The giver makes the gift precious.



    Give some people an inch and they’ll take a mile.

    God loves a cheerful giver.



    If you give quickly you give doubly.



    It is more blessed to give than to receive.



    A man of gladness seldom falls into madness.

    People in glass houses should not throw stones.



    Women and glass are always in danger.



    Don’t follow the crowd. Let the crowd follow you.



    When you hold back the successful, you penalize those who need help.



    Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses.

    Gloom and sadness are poisons to the soul.



    The desire for glory is the torch of the mind.



    When glory comes, memory departs.



    We rise in glory as we sink in pride.

    Our greatest glory consists not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.



    A pair of boxing gloves doesn’t make a boxer.



    The glutton’s god is his belly and his glory is his shame.



    Don’t mistake an old goat for a preacher because of his beard.



    Where God builds a church the devil builds a chapel.

    You cannot serve God and mammon.



    If God be for us, who shall stand against us?



    God made the country, man made the town.



    Most people forget God all day long and ask Him to remember them at night.



    We are full of sins and God is an ocean of mercy.

    If you want to win, return good for evil.



    One good turn deserves another.



    There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.



    The best goods are the cheapest in the end.



    What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

    Frogs drink and squawk; gossips drink and talk.



    Don’t broadcast the defects of others, correct your own.



    Wagging tongues do no one good.



    Those who bring gossip will carry it.



    He’s my friend that speaks well of me behind my back.

    Who chatters to you will chatter of you.



    Put no faith in tale-bearers.



    “They say,” is half a lie.



    That government is best which governs the least.



    Govern yourself and you’ll be able to govern the world.

    Without grace beauty is an unbaited hook.



    Graft on a good stock to get the best results.



    By the stubble you may guess the grain.



    The sweetest grapes hang the highest.



    Grasp all, lose all.

    This is a poem my mom wrote for my aunt's funeral several years ago. We included it on mom's program yesterday. 0318220818.jpg
