as such a comfort once more to obey
an order
It is not by enthusiasm but by tactics
that we defeat a foe
It is the passionate wish that gives
rise to the belief
Jealousy has a thousand eyes
Judge only by appearances, and never
enquire into the causes
Kisra called wine the soap of sorrow
Know how to honor beauty; and prove it
by taking many wives
Last Day we shall be called to account
for every word we utter
Laugh at him with friendly mockery,
such as hurts no man
Laughing before sunrise causes tears at
evening
Learn early to pass lightly over little
things
Learn to obey, that later you may know
how to command
Life is not a banquet
Life is a function, a ministry, a duty
Life is the fairest fairy tale
(Anderson)
Life is valued so much less by the
young
Life had fulfilled its pledges
Like the cackle of hens, which is
peculiar to Eastern women
Like a clock that points to one hour
while it strikes another
Love has two faces: tender devotion and
bitter aversion
Love means suffering--those who love
drag a chain with them
Love which is able and ready to endure
all things
Love laughs at locksmiths
Love is at once the easiest and the
most difficult
Love overlooks the ravages of years and
has a good memory
Loved himself too much to give his
whole affection to any one
Lovers delighted in nature then as now
Lovers are the most unteachable of
pupils
Maid who gives hope to a suitor though
she has no mind to hear
Man, in short, could be sure of nothing
Man works with all his might for no one
but himself
Man is the measure of all things
Man has nothing harder to endure than
uncertainty
Many creditors are so many allies
Many a one would rather be feared than
remain unheeded
Marred their best joy in life by
over-hasty ire
May they avoid the rocks on which I
have bruised my feet
Medicines work harm as often as good
Men studying for their own benefit, not
the teacher's
Men folks thought more about me than I
deemed convenient
Mirrors were not allowed in the convent
Misfortune too great for tears
Misfortunes commonly come in couples
yoked like oxen
Misfortunes never come singly
Money is a pass-key that turns any lock
More to the purpose to think of the
future than of the past
Mosquito-tower with which nearly every
house was provided
Most ready to be angry with those to
whom we have been unjust
