Proverbs Quotes and Quotations
Hunger is the best sauce. That which is escaped now is pain to come. Nature, time and patience are the three great physicians. The tongue ever turns to the aching tooth. All would live long, but none would be old. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. If thine enemy- be hungry, give him bread to eat. The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. He that hath knowledge spareth his words. The liberal soul shall be made fat. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. As he thinketh in his heart, so is he. Riches certainly make themselves wings. He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup;... at the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the street. Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding. The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. A word spoken in good season, how good it is! A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. If youth but knew, and age were able, Then poverty would be a fable.
