“Slow and steady wins the race.”

Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most.

Poverty with security is better than plenty in the midst of fear and uncertainty.

After all is said and done, more is said than done.

I can’t be friends with a man who blows hot and cold with the same breath.

Do nothing without regard to the consequences.

A man who looks to his friends for help will take his time about a thing.

Don’t let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth – don’t let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.

Great determination can overcome most odds.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

What is most truly valuable is often underrated.

Uninvited guests are often most welcome when they leave.

In critical moments even the very powerful have need of the weakest.

Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.

Whoever neglects old friends for the sake of new, lose both.

Much wants more and loses all.
