“A farmer on his knees is higher than a gentleman on his legs.”

Colleges hate geniuses, just as convents hate saints.

Hunger fetches the wolf out of the woods.

A good surgeon must have an eagle’s eye, a lion’s heart, and a lady’s hand.

The good lawyer knows the law, the clever one knows the judge.

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.
