Wisdom for the week ahead





One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.

A mother's heart is always with her children.

With true friends... even water drunk together is sweet enough.

A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion.

Deep doubts, deep wisdom; small doubts, little wisdom.

No bees, no honey; no work, no money.

Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.

Marrying is easy, it's housework that's hard.

Love can neither be bought or sold, its only price is love.

Insanity is doing the same thing in the same way and expecting a different outcome.

Think of your own faults the first part of the night when you are awake, and of the faults of others the latter part of the night when you are asleep.

The tongue can paint what the eye can't see.

When planning for a year, plant corn. When planning for a decade, plant trees. When planning for life, train and educate people.

If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.

Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.

Children and drunks always speak the truth.

One of life's greatest mysteries is how the boy who wasn't good enough to marry your daughter can be the father of the smartest grandchild in the world.

All criminals turn preachers under the gallows.

If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end up where we are headed.

If I die, I forgive you. If I live we shall see.

Some have been thought brave because they didn't have the courage to run away.

The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

The greatest conqueror is he who overcomes the enemy without a blow.

If you want to be happy for a year, plant a garden; If you want to be happy for life, plant a tree.

The calmest husbands make the stormiest wives.

Masters who sacrifice for servants will receive the gift of loyalty.

Choose your wife as you wish your children to be.

The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.

Loneliness breaks the spirit.

The right man comes at the right time.

A heart that loves is always young.

He who enjoys good health is rich, though he knows it not.

Gossiping and lying go hand in hand.
