Thomas Fuller (writer) (1654 – 1734)


English physician, writer and adage collector.
Thomas Fuller (writer)
Think thyself happy if thou hast one true Friend ; never think of finding another.
Fuller quotes
To hold one's Nose to the Grind-stone.
Fuller
The weakest go to the Wall.




To strain at a Knat, and swallow a Camel.
Fuller Thomas (writer)
There is no disputing of Tastes, Appetites and Fancies.
What the Eye sees not, the Heart rues not.
Thomas Fuller (writer)
A prudent and discreet Silence will be sometimes more to thy Advantage, than the most witty expression, or even the best contrived Sincerity. A Man often repents that he has spoken, but seldom that he has held his Tongue.
All Temptations are founded either in Hope or Fear.
Fuller
Better abridge petty Charges, than stoop to petty Gettings.
Fuller Thomas (writer)
Men apt to promise, are apt to forget.
Thomas Fuller (writer)
Marry in Haste, and Repent at Leisure ;
It's good to marry late, or never.




Abused Patience turns to Fury.
Thomas Fuller (writer)
Proud Men can't bear with Pride in others.
Fuller quotes
The Sting of a Reproach is the Truth of it.
Fuller Thomas (writer)
Whosoever engages in many Pursuits, rarely suceeds in one.
It is in vain to mislike the current Fashion.
Thomas Fuller (writer)
Thou art not Master of what thou hast spoken, but mayest dispose of what thou hast not spoken as thou pleasest, and canst say it, or not say it, as thou wilt.
Find out thy own Mistakes, and Failings, in order to amend them. A Disease known is half cured.
Thomas Fuller (writer)
Never think that the Things thou wantest will cure thee of thy Discontents ; for they will enlarge thy Desires, and make the Wounds wider. The Way to think we have enough, is not to desire to have too much.
Fuller Thomas (writer)
The Proof of a Pudding is in the eating.
