With customes wee live well, but lawes undoe us.
He that lives well is learned enough.
The eye and religion can beare no jesting.
Living well is the best revenge.
Man is God's image; but a poor man is
Christ's stamp to boot: both images regard.
Speake not of my debts, unlesse you mean to pay them.
He that tells a secret is another's servant.
Thursday come and the week's gone.
[ Wo be to him that reads but one book.]
It's more paine to doe nothing then something.
[ The war is not don so long as my enemy lives.]
An ill wound is cured, not an ill name.
He that blames would buy.
A poore beauty finds more lovers than husbands.
Hee hath no leisure who useth it not.
Be what thou wouldst seem to be.
[ There is a remedy for everything, could men find it.]
Every mile is two in winter.
