Out of the mouths of babes come words of wisdom.


Truth is the gate of justice.


Speak the truth and embarrass the devil.

 

Truth is too heavy for most people to bear.


Try your friend before you have need of him.


Try your skill in gilt first, and then in gold.

When you begin to turn in bed, it is time to turn out.

 

Two blacks do not make a white; two wrongs don’t make a right.


You have two ears and one tongue; therefore hear twice as much as you speak.


Two fools in one house are too many.


Two in distress make trouble less.

 

A thing may be sweet to the taste and prove sour to the digestion.


Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.

Beauty is only skin deep but ugliness is forever.


An ugly woman dreads the mirror.


If all the world were ugly deformity would be no monster.


Don’t kiss an ugly girl; she’ll tell the world about it.

The best and easiest way to be happy is to make others happy.


Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm.

 

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason so few engage in it. Henry Ford


If you need something done quickly, give it to a busy man.


You are better off making mistakes than not making decisions.


No matter how careful you say or write something, some will misunderstand it.
