“4702. The Passions are like Fire and Water ; good Servants, but bad Masters.”

“2763. Avoid Men that are Hot and Quarrelsome ; they will affront thee for nothing, and urge Things beyond Reason and Measure. They will bring thee into Troubles, which thou wilt not easily get out of. Keeping Company with such is living with Wolves, Bears, and Tygers.”

“950. Beauty is but Skin deep ; within is Filth and Putrefaction.”

“1544. Fish and Guests smell at three Days old.”

“5968. You must plow with such Oxen as you have.”
