In levying taxes and in shearing sheep it is well to stop when you get down to the skin.
From Austin O'Malley
The statesman shears the sheep; the politician skins them.
The smaller the head, the bigger the dream.
A home-made friend wears longer than one you buy in the market.
Show me a genuine case of platonic friendship, and I shall show you two old or homely faces.
An Englishmen thinks seated; a Frenchmen standing; an American pacing, an Irishman, afterwards.
A hole is nothing at all, but you can break your neck in it.
When you are dealing with a child, keep all your wits about you, and sit on the floor.
