Mend your clothes and you may hold out this year.
God strikes with his finger, and not with all his arm.
Good and quickly seldom meet.
Lend only what you can afford to lose.
God oft hath a great share in a little house.
I had rather ride on an ass that carries me than a horse that throws me.
Persons unmask their evilest qualities when they do quarrel.
Learn weeping, and thou shalt gain laughing.
God provides for him that trusteth.
A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
Where your will is ready, your feet are light.
When war begins, then hell openeth.
Good workmen are seldom rich.
Do not grudge To pick out treasures from an earthen pot. The worst speaks something good.
All are presumed good till they are found at fault.
Trust not one night’s ice.
True beauty lives on high. Ours is but a flame borrowed thence.
Patience, time and money accommodate all things.
For all may have, If they dare to try, a glorious life, or grave.
Surely if each one saw another’s heart, There would be no commerce, No sale or bargain pass: all would disperse And live apart.
