Abstinence

Abstinence is the beginning of saintliness
Disuse is misuse
He begins to die who quits his desires
When in doubt, do without
Abstinence is the best medicine

Action

Actions will be judges according to intentions
Every act alters the soul of the doer
Action follows conviction, not knowledge
Let every action aim solely at the common good
Well done is better than well said
Speak little do much
Watch what I do not what I say
Actions speak louder than words
Think globally but act locally
The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts
Reflect too much and you will accomplish little
Act quickly, think slowly

Adultery

Where there is marriage without love, there will be love without marriage

Adversity

Adversity stretches our days
Adversity is the path to truth
Adversity reveals and shapes character
Adversity weakens the weak and strengthens the strong

Age

As we age beauty steals inward
The older I get the greater power I seem to have to help the world
The older I get the faster I was
Grow old along with me; the best is yet to be
To grow old is to move from passion to compassion
The best part of the art of living is to know how to grow old gracefully
You are not old until you regret the places of hopes and plans
Age is mind over matter.  If you don’t mind-it doesn’t matter.
Wrinkles indicate where smiles have been
The family with an old person in it possesses a jewel
In youth we learn, in old age we understand
Youth is a blunder, manhood a struggle, old age a jewel
A new broom sweeps clean, but an old broom knows the corners

Ambition

Ambition is the desire of shining and outshining
Ambition is the fuel of achievement
There is nothing humbler than ambition when it is about to climb
To hit the mark you must aim a little above it
There is always room at the top

Appearances

Appearances are deceptive
Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth
Pay no attention to appearing, being is alone important
He who wears a mask his face grows to fit it.
All is not gild that glitters
Things are not always what they seem
Many a rosy apple is rotten to the core

Art

The art of living is the most valuable art
Money and art are far apart
Art attracts us by what it reveals about our inner self
Art creates wonder and awe and lifts us out of ourselves

Avarice

Avarice is the only passion that never ages
Avarice hoards itself poor, charity gives itself rich
No vice like avarice
It is not want but abundance that makes up avarice
