You cannot pluck roses without fear of thorns, Nor enjoy a fair wife without danger of horns

Fly Pleasures, and they'll follow you.

He that displays too often his wife and his wallet is in danger of having both of them borrowed.

Beware of meat twice boiled, and an old foe reconciled.

He that displays too often his wife and his wallet is in danger of having both of them borrowed

Enjoy the present hour, be mindful of the past; And neither fear nor wish the Approaches of the last. Learn of the skilful: He that teaches himself, hath a fool for his master.
