“If you take care of your character, your reputation will take care of itself.”

Industry is fortune’s right hand and frugality her left.

It costs something to be a Christian, but it costs more to be a sinner.

Count no man successful until he is dead.

Always put your best foot forward.

Industry need not wish.

Contempt is the best return for scurrility.

A dirty floor means a busy stove.

The loudest bell does not always have the sweetest tone.

Constant dripping wears away stone.

Always a valley before a hill.

Consent to common custom, but not to common folly.

The longest day will come to an end.

It is a man’s challenge to go as far as he can on the right road.

It is an easy matter for a stingy man to get rich – but what’s the use?

A true wife is her husband’s flower of beauty.

Confidence of success is almost success.
