A true friend is the best possession

A little explained, a little endured,

A little forgiven, the quarrel is cured

A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning

Little boats must keep near shore

Larger ships may venture more

It is wise not to seek a secret...

And honest not to reveal it

If you would reap praise, you must sow the seeds...

Gentle words and useful deeds

There is more trouble in having nothing to do

He who will not keep a penny...

Shall never have many

The greatest wealth is contentment with a little

Quarrels never could last long if on one side  lay all the wrong

Be not the first to quarrel...

Nor the last to make it up

Nothing dries quicker than a tear

A good example is the best sermon

He that would live in peace and ease

Must not speak all he knows

Nor judge all he sees

Well done is better than well said

If you do what you should not

You must bear what you would not

A harvest of peace is produced from a seed of contentment

Wish not so much to live long, as to live well

Special thoughts for a very

  dear and special friend
