Thomas Fuller (writer) (1654 – 1734)
English physician, writer and adage collector.
Make a Virtue of Necessity.
The Rich never want for Kindred.
Who so blind as he,
That will not see?
Praise makes good Men better, and bad Men worse.
The Thief is sorry he is to be hanged, but not that he is a Thief.
The Tongue is not Steel, yet it cuts sorely.
A good Example is the best Sermon.
The present Fashion is always handsome.
The Moon is made of green Cheese.
Better be alone than in bad Company.
It is better to have a Hen to Morrow, than an Egg to Day.
All complain of want of Memory, but none of want of Judgment.
Early to go to Bed, and early to rise,
Will make a Man Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.
It is a long Lane that never turns.
Count not your Chickens before they be hatch'd.
Many Hands make light Work.
He that is too proud to ask, is too good to receive.
Craft must have Clothes ; but Truth loves to go naked.
An Oak is not fell'd at one Chop.
There cannot be a more intolerable Thing than a fortunate Fool.
