Sudden acquaintance brings repentance.
The image of God cut in ebony.
It is better to have a hen tomorrow than an egg today.
Better give a shilling than lend and lose half a crown.
A fox should not be of the jury at a goose's trial.
If you command wisely, you'll be obeyed cheerfully.
A fool's paradise is a wise man's hell.
Charity begins at home, but should not end there.
There is a scarcity of friendship, but not of friends.
In fair weather prepare for foul.
Despair gives courage to a coward.
Abused patience turns to fury.
An ounce of cheerfulness is worth a pound of sadness to serve God with.
A stumble may prevent a fall.
All commend patience, but none can endure to suffer.
A good garden may have some weeds.
Health is not valued till sickness comes.
The more wit the less courage.
A gift, with a kind countenance, is a double present.
There is nothing that so much gratifies an ill tongue as when it finds an angry heart.
