Thomas Fuller (writer) (1654 – 1734)
English physician, writer and adage collector.
That, which you sow, you must reap.
If thou canst but live free from Debt and Want, 'tis not absolutely necessary to care for more : for all the rest, truly speaking, is but Vanity, and for the most part Vexation too.
As Virtue is its own Reward, so Vice is its own Punishment.

Happy’s the wooing,
That’s not long a doing.
It is my own Fault, if I am deceived by the same Man twice.
He that would please all, and himself too,
Undertakes what none could ever do.
Give him but Rope enough, and he'll hang himself.
Time and Tide tarry for no Man.
None knows the Weight of another's Burthen.
If you sleep till Noon, you have no right to complain that the Days are short.
Many Things fall out between the Cup and the Lip.
Learn the art of Silence ; the wise Man that holds his Tongue, says more than the Fool who speaks.
To hit the Nail on the Head.
Be as you would seem to be.
Leave no Dirt, you’ll find no Dirt.
It is as natural to die, as to be born.
All Men think their Enemies ill Men.
