If you'd be wealthy, think of saving, more than of getting: The Indies have not made Spain rich, because her Outgoes equal her Incomes.

All things are cheap to the saving, dear to the wasteful

Good counsel failing men can give, for why? He that's aground knows where the shoal doth lie

Drink does not drown care, but waters it, and makes it grow faster.

Work while it is called today, for you know not how much you will be hindered tomorrow. One today is worth two tomorrow's; never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.

Beware of the little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.
