If you want something done well do it yourself

God could not be everywhere so He made mothers

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe

It is not enough to run one must start in time

Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy

Choose neither a woman nor linen by candlelight

Keep your friends close and your enemies close

An Englishman will burn his bed to catch a flea

One single word only is sufficient for the wise

A man does not seek his luck luck seeks its man

A courtyard common to all will be swept by none

May the blue bird of happiness fly up your nose

It is not for the swan to teach eaglets to sing

There s no meaning to a flower unless it blooms

What soap is for the body tears are for the soul
