The only way to pass any test is to take the test. Unknown

Never advise anyone to go to war or to marry. Unknown

He who would leap high must take a long run. Unknown

A small leak unattended will sink a great ship. Unknown

Always try to be a little kinder than necessary. Unknown

A good workman never quarrels with his tools. Unknown

Courtesy costs nothing but means everything. Unknown

Fools look to tomorrow; wise men use tonight. Unknown

A runaway monk never praises his monastery. Unknown

Nothing in excess. Moderation in all things. Unknown

We learn the rope of life by untying its knots. Unknown

Sour, sweet, bitter, pungent, all must be taste. Unknown

Good habits result from resisting temptation. Unknown

The man that lives by hope will die by despair. Unknown
