Who will not mercie unto others show, How can he mercie ever hope to have?

The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted.

The Ass and His Driver AN ASS, being driven along a high road, suddenly started off and bolted to the brink of a deep precipice. While he was in the act of throwing himself over, his owner seized him by the tail, endeavoring to pull him back. When the Ass persisted in his effort, the man let him go and said, Conquer, but conquer to your cost. A willful beast must go his own way.

Indu'd With sanctity of reason.

He gets through too late who goes too fast.

The best manner of avenging ourselves is by not resembling him who has injured us.

Like the pot calling the kettle black.

Big egos are big shields for lots of empty space.

Men weary as much of not doing the things they want to do as of doing the things they do not want to do.

To swear, except when necessary, is becoming to an honorable man.

An unjust peace is better than a just war.

Confidence and courage come through preparation and practice.

A man met a lad weeping. "What do you weep for?" he asked. "I am weeping for my sins," said the lad. "You must have little to do," said the man. The next day, they met again. Once more the lad was weeping. "Why do you weep now?" asked the man. "I am weeping because I have nothing to eat," said the lad. "I thought it would come to that," said the man.

I'm saddest when I sing.

Humans are like tea bags. They never realize their strength until they are put in hot water.

Now Nature hangs her mantle green On every blooming tree, And spreads her sheets o' daisies white Out o'er the grassy lea.

It's the equivalent of putting on the brakes suddenly while driving uphill.

It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do.
