Woe be to him that reads but one book.
Every mile is two in winter.
Storms make oaks take deeper root.
There would be no great men if there were no little ones.
Hope is the poor man's bread.
Half of the world knows not how the other half lives.
Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.
Go not for every grief to the physician, nor for every quarrel to the lawyer, nor for every thirst to the pot.
You must lose a fly to catch a trout.
The best mirror is an old friend.
