Thomas Fuller

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Danger past, God is forgotten.

A gift, with a kind countenance, is a double present.

Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.

Health is not valued till sickness comes.

The more wit the less courage.

Despair gives courage to a coward.

If you command wisely, you'll be obeyed cheerfully.

Unseasonable kindness gets no thanks.

Care and diligence bring luck.

Light, God's eldest daughter, is a principal beauty in a building.

All commend patience, but none can endure to suffer.

Abused patience turns to fury.

'Tis skill, not strength, that governs a ship.

All things are difficult before they are easy.

There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.

Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.

Misfortunes tell us what fortune is.
