Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

Where there's marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

Honesty is the best policy.

There are three faithful friends - an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.

When in doubt, don't.

The doors of wisdom are never shut.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion.

Remember that credit is money.

The use of money is all the advantage there is in having it.

If you would know the value of money, go and try to borrow some.

He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.

From a child I was fond of reading, and all the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books. Pleased with the 'Pilgrim's Progress,' my first collection was of John Bunyan's works in separate little volumes.

Those have a short Lent who owe money to be paid at Easter.

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.

There was never a good war, or a bad peace.

Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.

Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

Content makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.

To Follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.

Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.

It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.

Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.

He that lives upon hope will die fasting.

How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.

In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.

In the affairs of this world, men are saved not by faith, but by the want of it.

The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

I saw few die of hunger; of eating, a hundred thousand.

Beware the hobby that eats.

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.

With the success of a show, you get an opportunity to call attention to things that you believe in.

I was at the vice president's Christmas party. I thought that his speech was spectacular, and I knew that it was a very emotional and difficult thing for him to do, but I admonished him for not waiting just one more stinking day.

I have to think that I think it's always been a horse race between this administration's temporary political acumen and their completely, utterly, totally bankrupt policies. And they're coming home to roost. It was always a question of time. These guys aren't conservative. These guys are radicals.

The mother of a family should look upon her housekeeping and the planning of meals as a scientific occupation.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'

We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.

I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him.

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.
