“Don’t become broke by trying to look rich.”

Beautiful young people are acts of nature but beautiful old people are works of art.

May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.

The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune.

He who comes with a story to you brings two away from you.

Better to be a man of character than a man of means.

Age is honorable and youth is noble.

Do not resent growing old. Many are denied the privilege.

If God sends you down a stony path, may he give you strong shoes.

A tune is more lasting than the song of the birds, and a word more lasting than the wealth of the world.

There is only one thing worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.

Need teaches a plan.

A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.

Who gossips with you will gossip of you.

May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty.

Every man is sociable until a cow invades his garden.

However long the day, the evening will come.
