Destroy the seed of evil, or it will grow up to your ruin.

It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow.

It is with our passions as it is with fire and water, they are good servants, but bad masters.

The smaller the mind the greater the conceit.

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.

Beware that you do not lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

Please all, and you will please none.

After all is said and done, more is said than done.

The little reed, bending to the force of the wind, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed over.
