Thomas Fuller

He that flings dirt at another dirtieth himself most.

He is idle that might be better employed.

Hope is one of the principal springs that keep mankind in motion.

If it were not for hopes the heart would break.

He that resolves to deal with none but honest men must leave off dealing.

Charity begins at home but should not end there.

The devil gets up to the belfry by the vicar's skirts.

He is happy that knoweth not himself to be otherwise.

Even doubtful accusations leave a stain behind them.

Great and good are seldom the same man.

The Devil himself is good when he is pleased.

If you run after two hares you will catch neither.

One may miss the mark by aiming too high as too low.

Friendship that flames goes out in a flash.

Better fare hard with good men than feast with bad.

A wise man may look ridiculous in the company of fools.

No man can be happy without a friend nor be sure of his friend till he is unhappy.

We shall never have friends if we expect to find them without fault.
