History is in a manner a sacred thing, so far as it contains truth; for where truth is, the supreme Father of it may also he said to be, at least, in as much as concerns truth.
Heaven’s help is better than early rising.
Great persons are able to do great kindnesses.
Good wits jump; a word to the wise is enough.
From Pros and Cons they fell to a warmer way of disputing.
Forewarned, forearmed.
Fear is sharp-sighted, and can see things under ground, and much more in the skies.
Fair and softly goes far.
Experience, the universal mother of sciences.
Every tooth in a man’s head is more valuable than a diamond.
Every man was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Every man is as Heaven made him, and sometimes a great deal worse.
