Life is rather a state of embryo, a preparation for life; a man is not completely born till he has passed through death

'Tis better leave for an enemy at one's death, than beg of a friend in one's life

Nothing in life is certain except death and taxes

When Death puts out our Flame, the Snuff will tell,/ If we were Wax, or Tallow by the Smell./ At a great Pennyworth, pause a while.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

What is the use of a new-born child?
