Three things it is best to avoid: a strange dog, a flood, and a man who thinks he is wise
Three things give us hardy strength: sleeping on hairy mattresses, breathing cold air, and eating dry food
Of a compliment only a third is meant
Perfect love sometimes does not come until grandchildren are born
People aren't good unless others are made better by them
Reason is the wise man's guide, example the fool's
Man's mind is a watch that needs winding daily
The Saxon shits in his breech, The cleanly Briton in the hedge
Your hand is never the worse for doing its own work
If you would get ahead, be a bridge
