Now I have a sheep, and a cow, everybody bids me good-morrow.
I never saw an oft-removed tree,
Nor yet an oft-removed family,
That throve so well as one that settled be.
Three removes are as bad as a fire.
Keep thy shop, and thy shop will keep thee.
If you would have your business done, go; if not, send.
He that by the plough would thrive, himself must either hold or drive.
The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands.
Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge.
Not to oversee workmen, is to leave them your purse open.
In the affairs of the world, men are saved not by faith, but for the want of it.
