It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.

We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

United we stand, divided we fall.

The gods help them that help themselves.

Plodding wins the race.

It is in vain to expect our prayers to be heard, if we do not strive as well as pray.

Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.

It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.
