- (continued from previous page)I could hate you passionately, if I did not love you so intensely.
Be cautious in lavishing gifts on your lover.
It is a wise man that has his after thoughts first.
Don't suppose endeavour to know.
The man who never made a mistake, never made anything.
Cheer up! The more you haven't got, the more there is to get.
The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, others willing to let them work.
If you haven't your prayers you can't say them.
Your pocket is your friend.
What you won't know, won't trouble you.
When the old cock crows, the young one learns.
There is as good a fish in the sea as ever was caught.
Quenched coals are easily kindled.
A friend is never known, until trouble comes.
Before you marry, be sure of a house in which to tarry.
Self praise is no praise.
After a storm comes a calm.
It is better to be born lucky than rich.
Spare the rod, and spoil the child.
