Thought for the day...

Vivacity in youth is often mistaken for genius, and solidity for dullness.

The vivacity that increases with years is not far from folly.

The voice is the guardian of the mind.

A sweet voice is often a devil’s arrow that reaches the heart.

Asses sing badly because they pitch their voices too high.

 

Work and vote as you talk and pray.

Vows made in storms are forgotten in calms.

To endeavor to work upon the vulgar with fine sense is like attempting to hew blocks with a razor.

Vulgar minds growl beneath their load; the brave bear theirs without repining.

Success will popularize the grossest vulgarity.

 

A dunghill will produce beautiful flowers.

The bigger the man, the better the mark.

It is not safe to wade in unknown water.

Learn to labor and wait.

They also serve who only stand and wait.

 

If you wait upon fortune, you’ll never be sure of your dinner.

We walk by faith, not by sight.

A woman is known by her walking and drinking.

The weakest goes to the wall.

A wall between preserves love.

 

Want is the mother of industry.

Want makes strife between man and wife.

Want of rest is worse than want of wealth.

Want will be your master.

 

War is death’s feast.

Wars bring scars.

The fear of war is worse than war itself.

That war is only just which is necessary.

The warrior lives an honorable life even in poverty.

 

The woman who likes washing can always find water.

Waste not, want not.

A girl, a vineyard, an orchard, and a bean field are hard to watch.

A bag of fleas is easier to keep watch over than a woman.

It is good to get out of the net, but better not to get into it.
