Thought for the day...

A woman has never spoiled anything through silence.

Beware a silent dog and still water.

A monkey remains a monkey though dressed in silk.

If you haven’t silver in your purse, you should have silk on your tongue.

All complain of want of silver but few of want of sense.

 

A sin confessed is half forgiven.

Commit a sin thrice and you will think it allowable.

Few love to hear the sins they love to act.

Sin and sorrow are inseparable.

Who is not ashamed of his sins, sins double.

 

Who sows ill, reaps ill.

The sins of the fathers are visited on the children.

A sin concealed needs two forgivings.

Sin is the seed and death is the harvest.

Mouth and heart should never part.

 

Sincerity gives wings to power.

Beauty will sit and weep, fortune will sit and eat.

It doesn’t depend on size, or a cow could catch a rabbit.

An azz will deny more in an hour than a hundred philosophers will prove in a year.

Some are atheists only in fair weather.

 

Spit not against Heaven, or it will fall back in your face.

The devil divides the world between atheism and superstition.

Who throws a stone at the sky may have it fall on his head.

Skill and assurance are an invincible couple.

Skill is stronger than strength.

 

Full bellies make empty skulls.

No skunk can get rid of his own name by giving it to another.

All are not thieves that the dogs bark at.

Throw mud and some of it will stick.

He who slanders his neighbor makes a rod for himself.

 

When men speak ill of you, live so that no one will believe them.

Who throws mud soils his own hands.

He that praises publicly will slander privately.

Never make your ear the grave of another’s good name.

The way to close the mouth of a slanderer is to treat him with contempt.

 

If the ball does not stick to the wall, it will at least leave a mark.

Slavery is a weed that grows in every soil.

Slavery enchains a few; more enchain themselves to slavery.

The sign of slavery is to have a price and to be bought for it.

He is still a slave whose limbs alone are freed.

 

Better the devil’s than a woman’s slave.

The blow that liberates the slave sets the master free.

None can be free who is a slave to his passions.

As the slave departs the man returns.

He that is one man’s slave is free from none.

 

Lean liberty is better than fat slavery.

Too much bed makes a dull head.

Better slip with the foot than with the tongue.

Sloth is the key to poverty.

It is a sorry azz or horse that will not bear his own burden.
