What did your grandparents used to tell you???
Worries go down better with soup. Gold's father is dirt, yet it regards itself as noble. It's astonishing how important a man becomes when he dies. Trouble is to man what rust is to iron. Charge nothing and you'll get a lot of customers. The glaciers didn't freeze overnight. Money buys everything but good sense. Silence is also speech. Don't spit in the well, you might drink from it later Make no more haste than good speed. You buy yourself an enemy when you lend a man money. Truth never dies, but lives a wretched life. Golden dishes will never turn black. The sun will set without your help One who has the reputation of an early riser may safely lie in bed until noon. Words show the wit of a man, but actions his meaning. Had you gotten up early, you wouldn't have needed to stay up late. Golden dreams make men wake hungry. What one has, one doesn't want--what one wants one doesn't have If we did not flatter ourselves, nobody else could.
