None preaches better than the ant, and she says nothing.
God helps those who help themselves.
Today is yesterday's pupil.
There is a difference between imitating a good man and counterfeiting him.
Carelessness does more harm than a want of knowledge.
Would you persuade, speak of interest, not of reason.
One today is worth two tomorrows.
Wealth is not his that has it, but his who enjoys it.
An undutiful daughter will prove an unmanageable wife.

Energy and persistence conquer all things.
You may delay, but time will not.

Take time for all things.
But in this world nothing is sure but death and taxes.
Fatigue is the best pillow.
