![]() Don't think to hunt two hares with one dog.If you ride a Horse, sit close and tight,.No man e'er was glorious, who was not laborious.Take this remark from Richard poor and lame,.Blame-all and Praise-all are two blockheads.Nor enjoy fair wife without danger of horns. You cannot pluck roses without fear of thorns,.Nothing more like a Fool, than a drunken Man.He is ill cloth'd, who is bare of Virtue.Distrust & caution are the parents of security.He that lies down with Dogs, shall rise up with fleas.The proof of gold is fire, the proof of woman, gold.After three days men grow weary, of a wench, a guest, and weather rainy.from Socrates, as quoted by Plutarch, Bad men live to eat and drink, and good men eat and drink to live.(One must eat to live, and not live to eat.) See Molière (1668) : Il faut manger pour vivre, et non pas vivre pour manger.The poor have little, beggars none, the rich too much,.Fools make feasts and wise men eat 'em. ![]() He's gone, and forgot nothing but to say Farewel–.He's a Fool that makes his Doctor his Heir.25.1 Maxims prefixed to Poor Richard's Almanac, 1757. ![]()
