25 Proverbs to ponder
Some men go through a forest and see no firewood. A fool may ask more questions in an hour than a wise man can answer in seven years. It is better to begin in the evening than not at all. You never miss a slice from a cut loaf. When a proud man hears another praised, he feels himself injured. A proverb is the child of experience. All temptations are found in either hope or fear. A good beginning makes a good ending. A hero is a man who is afraid to run away. A puff of wind and popular praise weigh the same. Everyone must row with the oars he has. An idle brain is the devil's workshop. Character is easier kept than recovered. He who has learned how to steal, must learn how to hang. A fool is like the big drum that beats fast but does not realize its hollowness. The turtle lays thousands of eggs without anyone knowing, but when the hen lays an egg, the whole country is informed. Luck is loaned, not owned. What you see in yourself is what you see in the world. Don't show me the palm tree, show me the dates. The seeds of the day are best planted in the first hour. He who attempts too much seldom succeeds. A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains. God does not pay weekly, but He pays at the end. The generous man enriches himself by giving; the miser hoards himself poor. Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.
