After a storm comes a calm.
It's as good to be out of world as out of the fashion.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
Tell me your company and I will tell you what you are.
Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
Much would have more and lost all.

Birds of a feather flock together.
When wine is in wit is out.(continues on next page)
