Every mile is two in winter.
Go not for every grief to the physician, nor for every quarrel to the lawyer, nor for every thirst to the pot.
He who cannot forgive breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass.
He who cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself.
Hope is the poor man's bread.
Living well is the best revenge.
Love and a cough cannot be hid.
Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.
Sometimes the best gain is to lose.
The best mirror is an old friend.
There would be no great men if there were no little ones.
Woe be to him that reads but one book.
You must lose a fly to catch a trout.
