'A good heart will help you to a bonny face, my lad,' I continued, 'if you were a regular black; and a bad one will turn the bonniest into something worse than ugly.'

Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.

A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o'clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone.

I'm now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town. A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself.

All the carnall beauty of my wife, Is but skin deep.

But he who loveliness within Hath found, all outward loathes, For he who color loves, and skin, Loves but their oldest clothes.

An honest man, close-buttoned to the chin, Broadcloth without, and a warm heart within.
