Thomas Fuller

Better be alone than in bad company…

If an ass goes travelling he will not come home a horse…

Fame is the echo of actions, resounding them to the world, save that the echo…

If thou art a master, be sometimes blind if a servant, sometimes deaf…

Scalded cats fear even cold water…

Anger is one of the sinews of the soul…

Be the business never so painful, you may have it done for money…

All things are difficult before they are easy…

Though bachelors be the strongest stakes, married men are the best binders, in the hedge…

Change of weather is the discourse of fools…

Health is not valued till sickness comes…

Great is the difference betwixt a man’s being frightened at, and humbled for his sins…

Tis skill, not strength, that governs a ship…

There is a scarcity of friendship, but not of friends…

Light, God’s eldest daughter, is a principal beauty in a building…
