Thought for the day...

The more the good tree grows, the more shade does it afford.


Every light has its shadow.


He who has no shame has no conscience.


He who can feel ashamed will not readily go wrong.


There is no honor where there is no shame.


Where the heart is past hope, the face is past shame.

 

The wrecker ashore is worse than the shark at sea.


Steel whets steel.


A beard well lathered is half shaved.

 

Good pastures make fat sheep.

When one sheep leads the way the rest follow.

In a large flock there will be one lame sheep.

When the shepherd strays the sheep stray.

 

In spite of colleges and schools the world remains a ship of fools.

The shirt is nearer than the coat.

Better wear out your shoes than your sheets.

No one knows better where the shoe pinches than he who wears it.

The fairest looking shoe may pinch the foot.

 

It is not enough to aim, you must hit.

One may as much miss the mark by aiming too high as too low.

Keep your shop and your shop will keep you.

Highways and streets have not all the thieves; shops have ten to one.

If fools went not to market, bad wares would not be sold.

 

Who buys wants a hundred eyes; who sells need have but one.

The shortest day is too long to waste.

Long-tongued people are generally short-handed.

Short hair is soon brushed.

The burden is light on the shoulders of another.

 

A heavy shower is soon over.

A woman spins even as she talks.

There is little peace in that house where the hen crows and the cock is mute.

A shut mouth keeps one from strife.

The sick man sleeps when the debtor cannot.

 

He is in great danger who, being sick, thinks himself well.


It is easy for a man in health to preach patience to the sick.


Sickness comes in haste and goes at leisure.


The sickness of the body may prove the health of the mind.


Open eyes are the best signpost.

 

Be silent and pass for a philosopher.

Deep rivers move in silence, shallow brooks are noisy.

In the company of strangers silence is safe.

Silence and reflection cause dejection.

Silence gives consent.

 

Silence is a fine jewel for a woman, but it is little worn.

Silence is the fittest reply to folly.

Silence is wisdom when speaking is folly.

Speaking comes by nature, silence by understanding.

Speaking is silver, silence is golden.
