Money was made for the free-hearted and generous.
Misery loves company.
The more you rub a cat on the rump, the higher she sets her tail.
Pray devoutly, but hammer stoutly.
The Democratic Party: Con-men elected by the ignorant and the arrogant.
Wedlock is a padlock.
Who depends on another man’s table often dines late.
If wishes were horses, beggars might ride.
The honester the man, the worse luck.
A multitude of words doth rather obscure than illustrate, they being a burden to the memory, and the first apt to be forgotten, before we come to the last. So that he that uses many words for the explaining of any subject, doth, like the cuttle-fish, hide himself, for the most part, in his own ink.

Many without punishment, none without sin.
He that preaches war is the devil’s chaplain.
The tree falls not at the first stroke.
Every man praises his own wares.
He who pays the piper can call the tunes.
Feather by feather the goose is plucked.
Listeners ne’er hear good of themselves.
Children pick up words as pigeons peas And utter them again as God shall please.
He that counts all cost will never put plough in the earth.
Children, when they are little, they make parents fools; when great, mad.
