Thought for the day...

Don’t taste every man’s soup—you’ll burn your mouth.

He that minds not his own business shall never be trusted with mine.

Every little American is born with his nose poking west; every little Briton is born with his nose poking everywhere.

Ready money is ready medicine.

There is a medicine for all things—except death and taxes.

 

The meek shall inherit the earth.

Eat your melons and don’t ask about the melon bed.

The deeds of the pious are their memorial.

Our memory is always at fault, never our judgment.

No man has a bad memory for pretty faces.

The memory of a great love is kept green forever.

 

It is never too late to mend.

It is hard to mend a broken heart.

It is safer to err on the side of mercy.

The brave are merciful; cowards do not dare to forgive their enemies.

Be merciful to those who show mercy.

 

Don’t pin medals on yourself; let others recognize your merit.

Merit is sure to rise to the surface.

True merit is like a river: the deeper it is the less noise it makes.

The merry in heart have a continual feast.

The messenger of evil knocks more than once.

 

Method will teach you to win time.

Don’t play both ends against the middle.

If you can’t do it by might, do it by sleight.

No mill, no meal; no will, no deal.

Every miller draws the water to his own mill; every merchant draws the dollars to his own till.

 

A lot of water runs by the mill while the miller sleeps soundly.

The chronic debtor lives with a millstone around his neck.

The lower millstone grinds as well as the upper.

Mad tenants move into a vacant mind.

A willing mind makes a light foot.

 

Put the impossible out of your mind.

Small minds are lured by trifles.

The mind of the man is the man.

A good mind possesses a kingdom.

Mind unemployed is mind unenjoyed.

 

Friendship doubles joy and halves grief.

A house without a woman is like a graveyard.

He who has peace of mind has conquered an Empire.

A minute with bliss is worth a lifetime with anguish.

The more you linger in the mire the more you foul yourself.

 

If you stir up the mire you must bear the smell.

A blind man won’t thank you for a mirror.

Your doctor won’t tell you what your mirror reveals.

People can find money for mischief when they can’t find any for a meal.

When you plot mischief for others you’re preparing trouble for yourself.

 

A little mischief is a little too much.

To ask a miser for a handout is like begging a naked man to give you his clothes.

Nothing enters into a closed hand.

Misery loves company.

A man is twice miserable when he fears his misery before it comes.
