    Any fool can know. The point is to understand. Einstein.



    Grasp no more than the hand will hold.



    Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb. That’s where the fruit is.



    Where everyone goes the grass never grows.



    The grass always seems greener on the other side.

    Gratefulness is the poor man’s payment.



    The man who is excessively grateful for a favor is preparing for favors to come.



    Men who are grateful are usually good.



    The grateful man gets more than he asks.



    Don’t cut down the tree that gives you shade.



    Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.

    Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.



    Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution.



    One good turn deserves another.



    Gratitude is a heavy burden.



    Great talent has always a little madness mixed with it.

    Great boasters are little doers.



    The small man feeds on great expectations.


    There could be no great ones if there were no little.



    Greedy people have long arms.



    Feed a pig and you’ll have a hog.

    The only cure for grief is action.



    Patch griefs with proverbs.



    There is a limit to grief but not to fear.



    Grief pent-up will burst the heart.



    New griefs awaken the old.

    Concealed grudges are dangerous to friendship.



    You can’t solve problem by using the same thinking that caused them.



    Grumbling makes the loaf no larger.



    Fish and company both stink after three days.



    The unbidden guest is a bore and a pest.

    Unbidden guests are most welcome when they are gone.



    After three days men grow weary of a wench, a guest and rainy weather.



    The first day a guest, the third a pest.



    Guilty men see guilt written on the faces of saints.


    Guilt makes the bravest man a coward.

    The wicked hate vice in others.



    The wrongdoer is never without excuses.



    A guilty conscience needs no accuser.



    It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.



    When sinning becomes a habit we love our sense of sin.

    I would have loved to pull up a chair and chat with these guys!

    That would definitely be great!

    Look at those accommodations! They didn't even mow the grass!

    Habit, if not resisted, becomes necessity.



    Habits are at first cobwebs and at last cables.



    Long hair, little brains.



    A man prepared has half fought the battle.



    To begin matters is to have them half finished.
