It's not till you have a bad boss that you realise how many good ones you've had.

Speak Softly and carry a big stick.

If summer had a mother, she would weep at summer's passing.

If you are too sparing with the cat's food, the rats will eat your ears.

If you spit in the face of a coward he'll tell you that it's raining.

Lock your door rather than suspect your neighbor.

Love overlooks defects; hatred magnifies them.

Lower your voice and strengthen your argument.

Nights of pleasure are short.

No matter how fast the poplar grows, it will never reach heaven.

No one can give what he does not have.

Only your nail scratches your skin.

Some men build a wine cellar after only finding one grape.

The day will come for the despot to pay.

The pot always reveals its contents.

We taught them how to beg, they raced us to the gates.

We traded in shrouds; people stopped dying.

When a mouse makes fun of a cat, there is a hole nearby.

When the angels arrive the demons leave.

When they came to shoe the horse of the sultan, along comes the beetle and sticks out her foot.

A job done slowly is a job done surely. Funny enough I have not found to many bosses that think that way.
