Advice
Never advise anyone to go to war or to get married. Write down the advice of him who loves you, though you like it not at present. He that has no children brings them up well.
Argument
It takes two to quarrel, but only one to end it.
Contentment
Since we cannot get what we like, let us like what we can get.
Fools and Foolishness
What a fool does in the end, the wise do in the beginning.
Gossip
Whoever gossips to you will gossip about you.
Mothers
An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy.
Poverty and The Poor
A poor man is all schemes.
Procrastination
Manana is often the busiest day of the week.
Speakers and Speaking
Two great talkers will not travel far together.
Wealth
A rich man is either a scoundrel or the heir of a scoundrel.
