  1. A constant drop wears a stone.
    It's a long road that has no turning.
    Say little and say well.
    Kind words fall lightly but they have great weight
    Every failure teaches a man something, if he will but learn.
    Happiness is never perfected until it is shared
    Kind words cost little.
    Think twice before you speak once.
    For age and want, save while you may,
    The morning sun won't last all day
    There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
