“Here today, gone tomorrow.”

Hunger finds no fault with moldy corn.

It is better to be lied about than to lie.

It is better to be safe than sorry.

Hope of gain lessens pain.

Close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades.

Hope is a good breakfast, but a poor supper.

The giver makes the gift precious.

Youth is a blunder, manhood a struggle, old age a regret.

A stout heart crushes some ill luck.

Your whole destiny is involved in the attitude you take toward your sin.

Honour your father and your mother.

The garment of peace never fades.

Clean your own doorstep before you clean someone else’s.

Honesty is praised and left to starve.

A fool can ask more questions in a minute than a wise man can answer in an hour.

It is better to pay and have a little left than to have much and be always in debt.
