Thought for the day...

Bear wealth; poverty will bear itself.

Money burns a hole in the pocket.

Money recommends a man everywhere.

Money breeds money.

Much on Earth, little in Heaven.

 

Much coin, much care.

Money is a good servant but a bad master.

It’s not the habit that makes the monk.

What a monk thinks he dares to do.

A monkey remains a monkey though dressed in a judge’s gown.

That last one reminds you of this one:
A goose is a goose, dress it as you will. But it remains a goose still.

 

Noble deeds are the most lasting monuments.

As wave follows wave, so new men take old men’s places.

Death keeps no calendar.

Every Pharaoh has his Moses.

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

 

If you take a child by the hand, you take the mother by the heart.

The man on the mountain has a better view than the man at the prison window.

The most difficult mountain to cross is the threshold.

We mourn the dead best by continuing their good works.

Today we mourn; tomorrow we are mourned.

 

The mouse that has but one hole is soon caught.

What joy fills the mouse when the cat’s out of the house.

Wisdom may come out of the mouths of babes.

Too much whiskey will kill; too many women will chill.

Too much of a good thing is good for nothing.

 

Too much bed makes a dull head.

Much never costs little.

Muddy water makes a poor mirror.

Mules don’t kick according to rule.

No man who loves music can be wholly evil.

 

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Music will not cure the toothache.

Music is the key to the female heart.

Change yourself and fortune will change you.

A nail that sticks out is struck.

 

The good man is the last to know what’s wrong at home.

Naked men never lose anything.

Drive nature out of the door and it will return by the window.

Nature and love cannot be hid.

Nature is stronger than education.

 

The wind and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

The nearer the church, the further from God.

The nearer the bone the sweeter the flesh.

Have a place for everything and have everything in its place.

Necessity and opportunity may make a coward valiant.

 

Necessity has a greater power than duty.

Necessity has no law.

Necessity is a good teacher.

Necessity is a hard master.

Don’t stick your neck out for someone to hang a rope around.

 

No needle is sharp at both ends.

A little neglect may breed great mischief.

Present neglect makes future regret.

The smith’s mare and the cobbler’s wife are always the worst shod.

Nothing is easy to the negligent.
