In giving advice I advise you,
be short.
Don't give a woman advice; one
should never give a woman anything she can't wear in the evening.
(Oscar WildeJ
When angry, count to a hundred.
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy. The most
difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and to
watch someone else doing it wrong and keep quiet.
Live within your means, and
have enough money to do it.
Look before you leap,For as you
sow, you're likely to reap. (Samuel Butler.)
To err is human: to forgive,
divine.
Education forms the common mind:
Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined.
( Alexander)
Be thou familiar, but by no
means vulgar. ...
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy.
But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy,
For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
Neither a borrower or a lender be;
For oft the loan loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell; my blessing season this in thee.
(William Shakespeare, in a speech to Laertes in Hamlet)
Forgive one another, as God
forgives you. (New Testament)
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted
(Aesop)
To be prepared is half the victory.(Miguel de Cervantes)
A place for everything and everything in its place. .(Samuel
SmIles)
Don't put it down, put it away. (Popular Maxim)
