An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy.

An ounce of hypocrisy is worth a pound of ambition.

Fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run.

If I were dammed of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, mother o' mine o mother o' mine.

An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.
