Working and making a fire doth discretion require.
You cannot flea a stone.
You cannot make a wind-mill goe with a paire of bellowes.
You cannot make the fire so low but it will get out.
You may be on land, yet not in a garden.
You may bring a horse to the river, but he will drinke when and what he pleaseth.
You must strike in measure, when there are many to strike on one Anvile.
Your pot broken seemes better then my whole one.
If any speak ill of thee, fly home to thy own conscience and examine thy heart. If thou art guilty, it is a just correction; if not guilty, it is a fair instruction.
A sad, wise valor is the brave complexion.
Pursue not a victory too far. He hath conquered well that hath made his enemy fly; thou mayest beat him to a desperate resistance, which may ruin thee.
A snow year, a rich year.
Ah my deare God! though I am clean forgot, Let me not love thee, if I love thee not.
Reason and speech we onely bring.
Love bade me welcome, but my soul drew back.
He that believes all misseth; he that believes nothing, hits not.
Knowledge is but folly unless it is guided by grace.
But who does hawk at eagles with a dove?
Be useful where thou livest.
An ill deed cannot bring honor.
