  1. Suspicion always haunts a guilty mind.
    When clouds are seen wise men put on their coats.
    There is no disgrace in being poor, but it is very convenient.
    Hurry is the work of a weak mind, dispatch of a strong one.
    waste is a crime.
    Only the foolish never change their opinion.
    Little things often lead to big results.
    If a man does not know to what port he is steering no wind is favourable to him.
    A man who thinks he can do without others is foolish but he who thinks others cannot do without him is a fool.
