Thomas Fuller (writer) (1654 – 1734)
English physician, writer and adage collector.
An empty Sack cannot stand upright.
He talks in the Bear-Garden Tongue.
When the Cat's gone, the Mice grow sawcy.
We are apt to believe what we wish for.
Great and Good are seldom the same Man.
Virtue hath such Charms, that even the Vicious inwardly reverence it.
Women’s Work is never done.
Follow Love, and it will flee ;
Flee Love, and it will follow thee.
Idle Fellows are the Devil's Playfellows.
He that does you a very ill Turn, will never forgive you.
To hold with the Hare, and run with the Hounds.
If you would know the value of a Ducat, try to borrow one.
Possession is eleven Points in the Law.
Jack of all Trades is of no Trade.
Troy was not took in a Day.
The Tongue breaketh the Bone, tho' it hath none it self.
Whatsoever Time does, it undoes.
Wickedness is its own Punishment, and many Times its own Cure.
Fine Cloaths wear soonest out of Fashion.
