Thomas Fuller

Prospect is often better than possession.

A good life is the only religion.

Welcome death quoth the rat when the trap fell.

The pleasures of the rich are bought with the tears of the poor.

He that will not sail till all dangers are over must never put to sea.

He that would have fruit must climb the tree.

They say so is half a lie.

Every tub must stand on its own bottom.

He that falls into sin is a man that grieves at it is a saint that boasteth of it is a devil.

The Golden Age was never the present Age.

It is better to have a hen tomorrow than an egg today.

What a day may bring a day may take away.

Trust thyself only and another shall not betray thee.

Riches enlarge rather than satisfy appetites.

Change of weather is the discourse of fools.

The weakest and most timorous are the most revengeful and implacable.

He knows little who will tell his wife all he knows.

Nothing is easy to the unwilling.

Dont let your will roar when your power only whispers.

Men never think their fortunes too great nor their wit too little.
