Safe in thy breast close lock up thy intents,
For he that knows thy purpose best prevents.
Randolph.

Frugality should ever be practised, but not excessive parsimony.
Hitopadesa.

He who receives a favour must retain a recollection of it for all time to come; but he who confers should at once forget it, if he is not to show a sordid and ungenerous spirit. To remind a man of a kindness conferred on him, and to talk of it, is little different from a reproach.
Demosthenes.
