To A Well Deserving Person God Will

Give Assistance, And Receive Thanks Lighter Than A Feather: Injure A Man, And His Wrath Will Be Like Lead.

To Waste One's Breath; To Pump Into A Sieve.

That Man Will Never Be Unwelcome To Others Who Makes Himself Agreeable To His Own Family.

Things Unhoped For Happen Oftener Than Things We Desire.

In Everything The Middle Course Is Best: All Things In Excess Bring Trouble To Men. [lat., Modus Omnibus In Rebus, Soror, Optimum Est Habitu; Nimia Omnia Nimium Exhibent Negotium Hominibus Ex Se.]
