3 _Бог; релігія
all are not saints that go to the church all things are possible with God the best sermon is a good life the cowl does not make the monk danger past, God is forgotten do your best and leave the rest with God each one holds his religion for the best earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal every man for himself, and God for us all faith will move mountains God heals and the doctor takes the fee God helps those who help themselves God is always on the side of the big battalions God is no respecter of persons God made the country and man made the town God restores health, and the physician gets thanks God sends meat and the devil sends cooks God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb the gods send nuts to those who have no teeth God's clock strikes on time God's in his heaven; all's right with the world God's mill grinds slow but sure the greater the sinner, the greater the saint he that serves God for money will serve the devil for better wages it matters not what religion an ill man is of like priest, like people the Lord chastises His own the lord knows when to clip our wings the Lord who gave can take away man proposes, God disposes a man without a religion is a horse without a bridle many have quarreled about religion that never practiced it the nearer the church, the farther from God preacher, be advised by your own sermons preachers can talk but never teach unless they practice what they preach religion should be a rule of life, not a casual incident of it some people depend too little on the Lord, and some people depend too much on Him those, who know all about heaven seldom get there where God builds a church, the Devil will build a chapel whom Gods would destroy, they first make mad you cannot serve God and Mammon -

advice is something the wise don't need and the fools won't take all great minds run in the same channel all men are fools, but the wisest of fools are called philosophers better an empty purse than an empty head a big head means a big headache bought wisdom is best if you don't pay too dear for it entertain no thoughts which you would blush at in words the doors of wisdom are never shut a flow of words is no proof of wisdom the fool wonders; the wise man asks go where he will, a wise man is always at home happy is the man who finds wisdom and gets understanding he who questions nothing learns nothing high living, low thinking if what men most admire they would despise, it would look like mankind were growing wise it is easy to be wise after the event it needs great wisdom to play the fool little hair, much wit know thyself knowledge and wisdom are far from being one men talk wisely but live foolishly nine-tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time no man can be always wise no man is born wise or learned one good head is better than a thousand strong hands one hears only what he understands popular opinion is the greatest lie in the world riches serve a wise man but command a fool so many men, so many minds speech is the gift of all but the thought of few a still tongue makes a wise head two heads are better than one where all think alike, no one thinks very much where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise wisdom doesn't always speak in Greek and Latin wisdom goes not always by years wisdom in a poor man is a diamond set in lead wisdom is ever a blessing, education is sometimes a curse wisdom is the wealth of the wise a wise man changes his mind; a fool never does a wise man is strong a wise man will make more opportunities than he finds a wise man's day is worth a fool's life wise men care not for what they cannot have wise men learn by other men's mistakes; fools insist on learning by their own a word to the wise words are the wise man's counters and the fool's moneyEnglish-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > _розум; мудрість; думка
