For ill do well then fear not hell
God gives his wrath by weight but his mercy without measure
A heavy purse makes a light heart
Fire begins with little sparks
God provides for him that trusts
He that speaks ill of his wife dishonours himself
The greater the man the greater the crime
What is bred in the bone will never come out of the flesh
If every man mends one all shall be mended
Honesty is the best policy
One law for the rich and another for the poor
Ignorance is a voluntary misfortune
Books are the university of home
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Kind hearts are more than coronets
If you’re born to be hanged then you’ll never be drowned
No one believes a liar even when he tells the truth
The higher the monkey climbs the more he shows his tail
The labourer is worthy of his hire
Seeing is believing
Keep a thing seven years and you will find a use for it
Conscience makes cowards of us all
Less is more
Necessity is the mother of invention
A man can do no more than he can
Clothes do not make the man
Buy in the cheapest market and sell in the dearest
You cannot get blood out of a stone
Don’t teach your grandmother to suck eggs
