The devil gets up to the belfry by the vicar's skirts.
A good friend is my nearest relation.
A good marksman may miss.
My son is my son till he have got him a wife But my daughter's my daughter all the days of her life.
Old foxes want no tutors.
Anger is one of the sinews of the soul.
A good life is the only religion.
Cheat me in the price but not in the goods.
It's madness the sheep to talk peace with the wolf
A danger foreseen is half avoided.
Comparison more than reality makes men happy or wretched.
What cannot be altered must be borne not blamed.
Better fare hard with good men than feast with bad.
If your desires be endless your cares and fears will be so too.
He that fears not the future may enjoy the present.
Soft words are hard arguments.
Better hazard once than always be in fear.
Send your noble blood to market and see what it will bring.
The real difference between men is energy.
I will not meddle with that which I cannot mend.
