Learn young, learn fair; learn old, learn more.

Get what you can and keep what you have; that’s the way to get rich.

Willful waste makes woeful want.

When the heart is full the tongue will speak.

Be slow in choosing a friend but slower in changing him.

Fools look to tomorrow. Wise men use tonight.

Confessed faults are half mended.

They that will not be counselled cannot be helped.

Never let your feet run faster than your shoes.
