Act quickly, think slowly.
A beard signifies lice, not brains.
The beginning is the half of every action.
Who ceases to be a friend never was one.
Gray hair is a sign of age, not of wisdom.
First secure an independent income, then practice virtue.
Kindness begets kindness.
A heart that loves is always young.
When God throws the dice are loaded.
A miser and a liar bargain quickly.
Men never moan over the opportunities lost to do good, only the opportunities to be bad.
Painless poverty is better than embittered wealth.
If you steal something small you are a petty thief, but if you steal millions you are a gentleman of society.
When at a loss how to go on, cough.
Milk the cow, but do not pull off the udder.
A truth spoken before its time is dangerous.
Think with the wise, but talk with the vulgar.
