    defer.
    The end does not jestify the means.
    Set a beggar on horse-back and the will ride to the devil.
    She pays him in his own coin.
    If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
    Beggars cannot be choosers
    Unless you try you cannot succeed
    Courage is half the battle
    Truth is stranger the fiction.
    Vanity is the very speed of life.
    Man proposes but go disposes
    Manners was Heavens first rule
    Order leads the right way to heaven
    You cannot make "stirabout" without meal.
    Fingers were made before forks.
    Enough is as good as a feast.
