A Person's True Nature Will

A Fox Entered The House Of An Actor And, Rummaging Through All His Properties, Came Upon A Mask, An Admirable Imitation Of A Human Head. He Placed His Paws On It And Said, "what A Beautiful Head! Yet It Is Of No Value, As It Entirely Lacks Brains."

Our Mere Anticipations Of Life Outrun Its Realities.

If You Had Half As Much Brains As You Have Beard, You Would Have Looked Before You Leaped.

Look And See Which Way The Wind Blows Before You Commit Yourself.

Pray Do Not Grieve So; But Go And Take A Stone, And Place It In The Hole, And Fancy That The Gold Is Still Lying There. It Will Do You Quite The Same Service; For When The Gold Was There, You Had It Not, As You Did Not Make The Slightest Use Of It.
