Thought for the day...

All seek their own objective.

The deeper we are in error the more angry we are.

The obstinate man does not hold opinions; his opinions hold him.

No thoroughly occupied man was ever yet very miserable.

A true friend never offends.

 

The more laws, the more offenses.

Never offer to teach fish to swim.

An honest official has no fat subordinates.

There are three classes of people one must not provoke: officials, customers and widows.

No man is always wise, except a fool.

 

Those who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love truth.

We think very few people sensible, except those who are of our opinion.

Public opinion is a second conscience.

Truth is the opinion that still survives.

A wise man sometimes changes his mind, but a fool never.

 

Every dog has his day and every man his hour.

Opportunities don’t wait.

The opportunity is often lost by deliberating.

The strong man and the waterfall channel their own path.

The opportunity of a lifetime is seldom so labeled.

 

The wise make tools of whatever comes to hand.

He who runs with wolves learns to howl.

The mill cannot grind with the water that is past.

Time and tide wait for no man.

When the wind is fair it is time to hoist your sail.

 

Make hay while the sun shines.

He who hesitates is lost.

When fortune knocks, open the door.

Half an orange tastes as sweet as a whole one.

An orator without judgment is a horse without a bridle.

 

Many people think they are wise when they are only windy.

Order is Heaven’s first law.

Working without a plan is like sailing without a compass.

Working without method, like a pig’s tail, goes all day and does nothing.

Let all your things have their place; let each part of your business have its time.

 

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

An ounce of luck is worth a pound of wisdom.

We are born not for ourselves alone.

Our greatest misfortunes come to us from ourselves.

To live long is to outlive much.
