Better beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear
A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety
A little thing in hand is worth more than a great thing in prospect
If you allow men to use you for your own purposes, they will use you for theirs
He that is neither one thing nor the other has no friends
You will only injure yourself if you take notice of despicable enemies
A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth
It is best to prepare for the days of necessity
We often despise what is most useful to us
All must work together or the body will go to pieces
Better one safe way than a hundred on which you cannot reckon
Better humble security than gilded danger
Little friends may prove great friends
Destroy the seed of evil, or it will grow up to your ruin
The memory of a good deed lives on
Never trust a friend who deserts you at a pinch
Nature will out
Gratitude is the sign of noble souls
Words may be deeds
Plodding wins the race
Vices are their own punishment
There is always someone worse off than yourself
Little by little does the trick
It is easy to despise what you cannot get
