Health is not valued till sickness comes.

Great is the difference betwixt a man's being frightened at, and humbled for his sins.

He that has a great nose, thinks everybody is speaking of it.

An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men.

Great hopes make great men.

An ounce of cheerfulness is worth a pound of sadness to serve God with.

A good garden may have some weeds.

There is a scarcity of friendship, but not of friends.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself for every man has need to be forgiven.

Cruelty is a tyrant that's always attended with fear.

Scalded cats fear even cold water.

He that hopes no good fears no ill.

The more wit the less courage.

Despair gives courage to a coward.

Change of weather is the discourse of fools.

Be the business never so painful, you may have it done for money.

A gift, with a kind countenance, is a double present.

Though bachelors be the strongest stakes, married men are the best binders, in the hedge of the commonwealth.
