Thought for the day...

Love is blind; so is hatred.

He who forces love where none is found, remains a fool the whole year round.

Out of sight, out of mind.

If you would be loved, love and be loveable.

Hot love is soon cold.

The course of true love never did run smooth.

 

The un-bought loyalty of men is the cheap defense of nations.

You can’t seek Lady Luck; Lady Luck seeks you.

Lucky at play, unlucky at love.

To a lunatic there is only one sane man in the world—himself.

The glad man is rarely the mad man.

 

Under majority rule, heads are counted; under minority rule, heads are cracked.

The blind man’s wife needs no makeup.

What man has made, man can destroy.

A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds.

Every man judges others by himself.

 

Every man has his weak side and his strong points.

People usually follow a leader like cattle.

No man is born wise or good; it’s his upbringing that really counts.

Mankind are very odd creatures; one half censure what they practice, the other half practice what they censure; the rest always say and do as they ought.

Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices.

Manners make the man.

 

When the wife rules the house, the devil is man-servant.

A man-servant knows more than he tells; a maid-servant tell more than she knows.

A trusting heart is an easy mark for the cunning scoundrel.

Spectacles and gray hair are bad wares in love’s market.

There is no good market for bad eggs or rotten bananas.

 

Good marriages are made in Heaven.

Marry in haste and repent in leisure.

If you marry for money, you sell your freedom.

If you marry a beautiful blond, you marry trouble.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage and half shut after.

 

Men under forty are too young to marry; men over forty are too old to marry.

Marriage is both Heaven and Hell.

Where there is marriage without love there will be love without marriage.

A good wife makes a good husband.

The wife is the keeper of her husband’s conscience as well as his soul.

 

Indeed. I once had a happy home. Now I have a house.

 

It’s the cause and not the death that makes the martyr.

We can’t all be masters.

He who has a wife has a master.

As the master is, so is his dog.

The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands.

 

Early ripe, early rotten.

Where the pear is ripe, it falls.

Mean men admire wealth; great men admire glory.

The end does not justify the means.

The honest man lives according to his means.

 

Good weight and measure is Heaven’s treasure.

Measure twice, saw once.

Don’t measure other people’s corn by your own bushel.

Just scales and full measure never hurt anybody.

To a hungry belly, all meat is good.
