He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
Wars are not paid for in wartime, the bill comes later.
There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.
Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.
He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
Tomorrow, every Fault is to be amended; but that Tomorrow never comes.
