He that can't endure the bad, will not live to see the good.
Jewish Proverb

For proverbs are the pith, the proprieties, the proofs, the purities, the elegancies, as the commonest so the commendablest phrases of a language. To use them is a grace, to understand them a good.
Florio, John

A smiling face is half the meal.
Latvian Proverb

If you want to be respected, you must respect yourself.

Who begins too much accomplishes little.
German Proverb

No people require maxims so much as the American. The reason is obvious: the country is so vast, the people always going somewhere, from Oregon apple valley to boreal New England, that we do not know whether to be temperate orchards or sterile climate.
Dahlberg, Edward

12.
How many of us have been attracted to reason; first learned to think, to draw conclusions, to extract a moral from the follies of life, by some dazzling aphorism.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

Keep five yards from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, and a hundred yards from an elephant; but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured.

If you refuse to be made straight when you are green, you will not be made straight when you are dry.
African Proverb

Keats, John

22.
If you wish your merit to be known, acknowledge that of other people.
Oriental Proverb

23.
I can't make head or tail of Life. Love is a fine thing, Art is a fine thing, Nature is a fine thing; but the average human mind and spirit are confusing beyond measure. Sometimes I think that all our learning is the little learning of the maxim. To laugh at a Roman awe-stricken in a sacred grove is to laugh at something today.
Stevens, Wallace

One kind word can warm three winter months.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Chinese Proverb

The best armor is to keep out of range.
