JOHN FLORIO

From the physician and lawyer keep not the truth hidden.

A deaf husband and a blind wife are always a happy couple.

Patience is the best medicine.

Poverty is no vice, but an inconvenience.

Wisdom sails with wind and time.

To long for that which comes not. To lie a-bed and sleep not. To serve well and please not. To have a horse that goes not. To have a man obeys not. To lie in jail and hope not. To be sick and recover not. To lose one's way and know not. To wait at door and enter not, and to have a friend we trust not: are ten such spites as hell hath not.

Praise the sea, on shore remain.

If you will be a traveler, have always two bags very full. That is one of patience and another of money.

Night is the mother of thoughts.

Wisdom sails with wind and time.

Night is the mother of thoughts.

Who has not served cannot command.

Praise the sea, on shore remain.

England is the paradise of women, the purgatory of men, and the hell of horses.

Patience is the best medicine.

A good husband makes a good wife.

Who will not suffer labor in this world, let him not be born.

Poverty is no vice, but an inconvenience.

Fish marreth the water, and flesh doth dress it

For proverbs are the pith, the proprieties, the proofs, the purities, the elegancies, as the commonest so the commendablest phrases of a language. To use them is a grace, to understand them a good.

Be circumspect how you offend schollers, for knowe, a serpent tooth bites not so ill, as dooth a schollers angrie quill.
