A lean compromise is better than a fat lawsuit..
The honey is sweet, but the Bee stings..
Good workemen are seldome rich..
Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools ….
Conversation makes one what he is..
Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night..
God sees hearts as we see faces..
Everyone thinks his sack heaviest..
A litle wind kindles; much puts out the fire..
He who cannot forgive breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass..
Show me a liar, and I'll show you a thief..
Thou who hast given so much to me, give me one more thing... a grateful heart!.
There is more talke then trouble..
His bark is worse than his bite..
Storms make the oak grow deeper roots..
He that gains well and spends well needs no count book..
A gentle heart is tied with an easy thread..
Service without reward is punishment..
God gives his wrath by weight, and without weight his mercy..
A good mother is worth hundreds of schoolmasters..
Who gives to all, denies all..
