If you would be loved, love and be lovable.

Where there's marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

Laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes him.

Dost thou love life, then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of.

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of.

Keep flax from fire, and youth from gaming.

Games lubricate the body and the mind.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

Here is my Creed. I believe in one God, creator of the Universe. That he governs it by his Providence. That he ought to be worshiped. That the most acceptable service we render him is doing good to his other children. That the soul of Man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this.
