What the eye does not admire the heart does not desire.

The superior doctor prevents sickness; The mediocre doctor attends to impending sickness; The inferior doctor treats actual sickness;

Precept guides, but example draws.

Practice what you preach.

Life is a dream walking death is a going home.

If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well.

A wise man changes his mind, a fool never will.

A beard signifies lice, not brains.

Be not deceived with the first appearance of things, for show is not substance.
