I have some friends, some honest friends, and honest friends are few; My pipe of briar, my open fire, A book that's not too new.
A promise made is a debt unpaid.
Avoid extremes: be moderate In saving and in spending; An equable and easy gait Will win an easy ending.
His life, though none too long, Was never dull: Of woman, wine and song Bill had his full.
No man can be a failure if he thinks he's a success; If he thinks he is a winner, then he is.
It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones who win in the lifelong race.
Be sure your wisest words are those you do not say.
