Quotes from John Heywood

The more the merrier.

The nearer to the church, the further from God.

Look ere ye leap.

Out of God's blessing into the warm sun.

Wedding is destiny,And hanging likewise.

Let the world wag, and take mine ease in mine inn.

A man may well bring a horse to the water,But he cannot make him drink without he will.

Of a good beginning cometh a good end.

Better is half a loaf than no bread.

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

Children learn to creep ere they can learn to go.

God never send'th mouth but he sendeth meat.

Fieldes have eies and woods have eares.

When the sun shineth, make hay.

Two heads are better than one.

Let the world slide, let the world go;A fig for care, and a fig for woe!If I can't pay, why I can owe,And death makes equal the high and low.

A hard beginning maketh a good ending.

One good turn asketh another.

It hurteth not the tongue to give fair words.

The loss of wealth is loss of dirt,As sages in all times assert;The happy man's without a shirt.

The nearer to the church, the further from God.

Tit for tat.

Would ye both eat your cake and have your cake?
