Good words are worth much, and cost little.

Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses, a box where sweets compacted lie.

Better never begin than never make an end.

The shortest answer is doing.

None knows the weight of another's burden.

Punishment is lame, but it comes.

Storms make oaks take deeper root.

The offender never pardons.

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

Love and a cough cannot be hid.

He who cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself.

If a donkey bray at you, don't bray at him.

The mouse that hath but one hole is quickly taken.

You must lose a fly to catch a trout.

One father is enough to govern one hundred sons, but not a hundred sons one father.

Deceive not thy physician, confessor, nor lawyer.

Living well is the best revenge.

Woe be to him that reads but one book.

There would be no great men if there were no little ones.
