Thought for the day...

A poor beauty is in double jeopardy: her beauty tempts others, her poverty, herself.

Don’t carry a joke too far.

The future joy makes the past and the present bearable.

All the joys in the world can’t take one gray hair out of our heads.

The good lawyer knows the law; the clever one knows the judge.

 

If you judge your own case you are judged a fool.

Don’t judge a book by its cover

You can’t judge of the horse by the harness.

An upright judge regards the law and disregards the lawyers and litigants.

Judges should have two ears—both alike.

 

Judge one banana rotten and you judge the whole bunch.

If you judge between two sweethearts you’ll lose both.

Don’t judge men or things at first sight.

When you judge others you condemn yourself.

Think much, speak little and write less.

 

Better to give the wool than the sheep.

Barking dogs don’t bite. Well, sometimes they do, but they have to stop barking to bite.

A man who cannot tolerate small misfortunes can never accomplish great things.

The last suitor wins the maid.

That fish is soon caught who nibbles at every bait.

 

That fish is soon caught who nibbles at every bait.

One swallow does not make a summer.

He that runs fast will not run long.

If the defendant is silent the jury will think him guilty.

We all love justice—at our neighbor’s expense.

 

It is not possible to teach someone who cannot teach his own family.

Better good manners than good looks.

It is not a delay to stop to sharpen the axe or saw.

Bricks, mortar and lumber makes a house but love makes it a home.

People must be taught as if you taught them not and ideas proposed as ideas forgot.

 

Forget injuries but never forget kindness.

Justice has a nose of putty: it is easily broken.

A closed mind is like a closed book; just a block of wood.

Examine what is said rather than he who said it.

Once you carry your own water you will remember every drop.

 

Just because the water is calm, don’t think there are no alligators.

He who refuses to obey cannot command.

Love doesn’t rely on physical features.

If you want justice for yourself, be just to others; give them an even break.

Woman is the key to life’s mystery.

 

One who plants a peach tree by the roadside and one who marries a pretty woman shares the same problem.

First learn; only then should you form opinions.

It takes a man to swallow an insult.

Habits begin as cobwebs but grows into strong cables.

Be kind to people and animals.

 

Never forget a kindness.

A forced kindness deserves no thanks.

Kindness to the just is never lost, but kindness to the wicked is unkindness to yourself.

Good words without deeds are rushes and reeds.

A good word costs no more than a bad one.
