Thought for the day...

Hot things, sharp things, sweet things, cold things, all rot the teeth.

Candy is dandy, but sex won’t rot your teeth.

Tell no tales out of school.

Don’t tell all you know nor do all you can.

The wise man doesn’t tell what he does, but never does what can’t be told.

 

Better face a danger once than always be in fear.

No fish without bones; no woman without a temper.

We can resist everything except temptation.

Temptations, like misfortunes, are sent to test our moral strength.

Great possessions and great want of them are both strong temptations.

 

No man has learned the art of life until he has been well tempted.

The proof of gold is fire; the proof of woman, gold; the proof of man, a woman.

You can’t put thanks in your pocket.

Those who dare to think by themselves can make others think with them.

The profound thinker always suspects that he is superficial.

 

Thinkers are as scarce as gold.

There are 2 classes of thinkers; the shallow who fall short of the truth and the abstruse who go beyond it.

There is no small pleasure in pure water.

It is wretched business to be digging a well just as thirst is mastering you.

Under the thorn grow the roses.

 

Roses fall but thorns remain.

Pluck the rose and leave the thorn.

One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning.

Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.

It is easy to threaten a bull from the window.

 

Threatened folks live the longest: they take numerous precautions.

Who will not keep a penny shall never have many.

It is too late to spare when the bottom is bare.

Keeping is harder than winning.

If wishes were thrushes, beggars would eat birds.

 

Thunder without rain is like words without deeds.

Lightning strikes a tall house most often.

Every tide has its ebb.

Clipping a tiger’s claws never makes him lose his taste for blood.

Mind your till and till your mind.
