The fly sat upon the axel-tree of the chariot-wheel and said, What a dust do I raise!
-Aesop
Your birthday is the vintage of your wine; the mark that warns you of your future.
A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
Wealth unused might as well not exist.
It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow.
Facts speak plainer than words
After the rain cometh the fair weather.
The smaller the mind the greater the conceit.
Appearances are often deceiving.
