All temptations are found in either hope or fear.
Alms never make poor.
An abundance of money ruins youth.
An empty barrel makes the most noise.
An enterprizing foole needs little wit.
An hour may destroy what an age was building.
An idle brain is the devil's workshop.
Anger is often more hurtful than the injury that caused it.
Ask God for what man can give, and you may get it.
Be not deceived with the first appearance of things, for show is not substance.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Big thunder, little rain.
Blest is the bride the sun shines on.
Cats hide their claws.
Chains of gold are stronger than chains of iron.
Character is easier kept than recovered.
Cheat me in the price, but not in the goods.
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Choose a wife rather by your ear than by your eye.
Confession is the first step to repentance.
Conscience cannot be compelled.
