Here comes the orator!
With his flood of words and his drop of reason.
A lie stands on one leg,
Truth on two.
He that would catch fish, must venture his bait:
The proud hate pride --- in others.
Pride dines on Vanity, sups on Contempt.
Pride breakfasted with Plenty
Dined with poverty
Supped with Infamy.
Vain-glory flowereth but beareth no fruit.
Blame-all and Praise-all are two blockheads.
As sore places meet most rubs, proud folks meet most affronts.
Pride and the Gout, are seldom cur'd throughout.
He that falls in love with himself, will have no Rivals.
A learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one.
A Man of Knowledge like a rich Soil, feeds
If not a world of Corn,
a world of Weeds.
The learned fool writes his nonsense in better languages than the
unlearned; but still it is nonsense.
Robert was so learned that he could name a horse in nine languages. So
ignorant that he bought a cow to ride on.
Clearly spoken, Mr. Fog! You explain English by Greek.
A great talker may be no fool but he is one that relies on him.
It is ill-manners to silence a fool and cruelty to let him go on.
He that speaks much is much mistaken.
You may talk too much on the best of subjects.
None preaches better than the ant, and she says nothing.
Silence is not always a sign of wisdom
but babbling is ever a mark of folly
Proclaim not all thou knoweth, all thou owest, all thou hast, nor all
thou canst.
Anger is never without a reason but seldom with a good one.
Meanness is the parent of insolence.
Wink at small faults; remember thou hast great ones.
To be humble to superiors is duty,
to equals courtesy,
to inferiors nobleness.
Think of three things:
Whence you came,
Where you are going,
And to whom you must account.
None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault or acknowledge
himself in an error. Who has deceived thee as often as thyself?
If you would not be forgotten
As soon as you are dead and rotten,
Either write things worth reading
Or do things worth writing.
Ah simple man!
When a boy two precious jewels were given thee,
Time and good advice,
One thou has lost
and the other thrown away.
If you will not hear and obey reason she will surely rap your knuckles.
Glass, China and Reputation
are easily cracked
and never well mended.
An open foe may prove a curse
but a pretended friend is worse.
There is much difference between imitating a good man and
counterfeiting him.
Humility makes great men twice honourable.
The discontented man finds no easy chair.
Where sense is wanting
everything is wanting.
He that won't be counseled, can't be helped.
The sting of a reproach is the truth of it.
A quarrelsome man has no good neighbors.
If you do what you should not, you must hear what you would not.
He that scatters thorns, let him not go barefoot.
The rotten apple spoils his companion.
An ill wound, but not an ill name, may be healed.
'Tis easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.
You may give the man an office, but you cannot give him discretion.
It's common for men to give 6 pretended reasons instead of one real
one.
A good Man is seldom uneasy, an ill one never easy.
An innocent Plowman is more worthy than a vicious Prince.
Drink Water, Put the Money in your Pocket, and leave the Dry-bellyache
in the Punchbowl.
To all apparent beauties blind
Each blemish strikes an envious mind.
Speak with contempt of none, from slave to king,
The meanest Bee hath, and will use, a sting.
Good Sense is a Thing all need, few have, and none think they lack.
Tis a strange Forest that has no rotten Wood in it. And a strange
Kindred that all are good in it.
Write Injuries in Dust, Benefits in Marble.
The Brave and the Wise can both pity and excuse when Fools shew no
Mercy.
Children and princes will quarrel for trifles.
Who is wise? He that learns from everyone.
Who is powerful? He that governs his passions.
Who is rich? He that is content.
Who is that? Nobody.
Neglect mending a small fault, and 'twill soon be a great one.
Tomorrow, every fault is to be amended; but that tomorrow never comes.
No Resolution of Repenting hereafter can be sincere.
Many a long dispute among Divines may be thus abridged: "It is so. It
is not so. It is so. It is not so."
Many a man's own tongue gives evidence against his Understanding.
If you would be revenged of your enemy, govern yourself.
A quiet Conscience sleeps in Thunder, but Rest and Guilt live far
asunder.
It's the easiest Thing in the World for a Man to deceive himself.
How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or
resolution enough to mend them.
Half the truth is often a great lie.
Who is strong?
He that can conquer his bad habits.
Take this remark from Robert poor and lame,
Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.

In Bob Crowfield's limited capacity to comprehend anything more than
two lines.
Now Bob Crownfield is imitating what a FORMER IDIOT of this group
would do -- by changing the subject of posts by me to AMPLIFY
his idiocy.
No substance. No content. No originality.
what a twit you are
wrong. again. habitually.
( keeping up the Lingsters perfect record of reading
and FAILING to COMPREHEND, yet AGAIN )
yet again, the Loser Ling leaps
to yet another unfounded conclusion,
hurt by ESL problems,
and his own overinflated ego.
Monkey see. Monkey do.
That's Bob Crownfield. LOWEST of all SCUM in usenet!
obviously you got excited again.
what a total ass you are...
