\nWise Men learn by other’s harms; Fools by their own.
\nThe end of Passion is the beginning of Repentance.
\nWords may shew a man’s Wit, but Actions his Meaning.
\n‘Tis a well spent penny that saves a groat.
\nMany Foxes grow grey, but few grow good.
\nContent makes poor men rich; Discontent makes rich men poor.
\nDrink does not drown Care, but waters it, and makes it grow faster.
\nIf your head is wax, don\u2019t walk in the sun.
\nHaving been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it, is.
\nThe wise Man draws more Advantage from his Enemies, than the Fool from his Friends.
\nAll would live long, but none would be old.
\nDeclaiming against Pride, is not always a Sign of Humility.
\nDoing an Injury puts you below your Enemy; Revenging one makes you but even with him; Forgiving it sets you above him.
\nMost of the Learning in use, is of no great Use.
\nA Man in a Passion rides a mad Horse.
\nReader farewell, all Happiness attend thee; May each New-Year, better and richer find thee.
\nIf Passion drives, let Reason hold the reins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
