All things are difficult before they are easy.
Travel makes a wise man better and a fool worse.
Unseasonable kindness gets no thanks.
'Tis skill not strength that governs a ship.
Let him who expects one class of society to prosper in the highest degree...
Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers.
It is madness for sheep to talk peace with a wolf.
All commend patience but none can endure to suffer.
Abused patience turns to fury.
Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune.
One may miss the mark by aiming too high as too low.
A drinker has a hole under his nose that all his money runs into.
Wine hath drowned more men than the sea.
There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.
Learning hath gained most by those books by which the printers have lost.
In fair weather prepare for foul.
If you command wisely you'll be obeyed cheerfully.
Iraq is just a symbol of the attitude of western democracies to the rest of the world.
