He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.
There is an hour wherein a man might be happy all his life, could he find it.
Be thrifty, but not covetous.
War makes thieves and peace hangs them.
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.
