drive。
… The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands。
… Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge。
… Not to oversee workmen; is to leave them your purse open。
… In the affairs of the world; men are saved not by faith; but for
the want of it。
… Learning is to the studious; and riches to the careful; as well as
power to the bold; and heaven to the virtuous。
… If you would have a faithful servant; and one that you like;
serve yourself。
… A little neglect may breed great mischief。
… For want of a nail the shoe was lost;
For want of a shoe the horse was lost;
For want of a horse the rider was lost …
Being overtaken and slain by the enemy。
… If a man save not as he gets; he may keep his nose to the grindstone
all his life; and die not worth a groat。
… A fat kitchen makes a lean will。
… Many estates are spent in the getting; since women for tea; forsook
spinning and knitting; and men for punch; forsook hewing and
splitting。
… The Indians did not make Spain rich; because her out…goes were
greater than he incomes。
… What maintains one vice would bring up two children。
… Many a little makes a mickle。
… Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship。
… Who dainties love; shall beggars prove。
… Fools make feasts; and wise men eat them。
… Buy what thou dost not need; and ere long thou shalt sell thy
necessaries。
… At a great bargain pause awhile。
… It is foolish to lay out money in the purchase of repentance。
… Wise men learn by another's harms; fools scarcely by their own。
… Silks and satins; scarlet and velvets; put out the kitchen fire。
… A ploughman on his legs; is higher than a gentleman on his knees。
… Always taking out of the meal tub; and never putting in; soon
comes to the bottom。
… When the well is dry we know the worth of water。
… If you would know the value of money; try to borrow。
… Fond pride of dress is sure a very curse。
… Ere fancy you consult; consult your purse。
… Pride is a loud a beggar as want; and a great deal more saucy。
… Vessels large may venture more; but little boats should keep the
shore。
… Pride that shines on vanity sups on contempt。
… Pride breakfasted with plenty; dined with poverty; and supped with
infamy。
… The second vice is lying; the first is running in debt。
… Lying rides upon debt's back。
… It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright。
… Creditors have better memories than debtors。
… Creditors are a superstitious sect; great observers of set days
and times。
… The borrower is a slave to the lender; and the debtor to the
creditor。
… Experience keeps a dear school; but fools will learn in no other
and scarce in that; for we may give advice; but we cannot give
conduct。
… They that will not be counselled cannot be helped。
… Distrust and caution are the parents of security。
… There is neither honour nor gain got in dealing with a villain。
… Light purse; heavy heart。
… Ne'er take a wife till thou hast a house (and a fire) to put her in。
… Great talkers; little doers。
… Relation without friendship; friendship without power; power without
will; will without effect; effect without profit; and profit without
virtue; are not worth a farthing。
… He has changed his one…eyed horse for a blind one。
TO ALL WHO HAVE PURCHASED THIS WORK
…
You are now in possession of about all the latest and most useful
receipts that are in the country; many of which are now being sold;
frequently; for from 5 to 10 and 20 each; and if you will now be wise;
do that which will be to your own interest; allow no man to see this work;
but keep the receipts profoundly secret; except as you sell them。 You may
dispose of enough of them; written off; every year you have the book; to
amount to twenty times the price of it。
Toronto; 1861
