Quotes

Many come to bring their clothes to church rather than themselves
It is more difficult to praise rightly than to blame
It is madness for sheep to talk peace with a wolf
If you have one true friend you have more than your share
If you command wisely, you'll be obeyed cheerfully
He that has one eye is a prince among those that have none
He that hopes no good fears no ill
He that has a great nose, thinks everybody is speaking of it
He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven
He knows little, who will tell his wife all he knows
