Proverblets

A good deedsmith
Needs wisdom's pith,
Therefore, my friends,
To make good ends
With fewest sinnings
Make good beginnings:

Though love is blest
Wisdom is best.

Give up not books
For women's looks.

Above all creeds
Serve Nature's needs.

On an ant put
No willing foot.

Beauty be warer
Is in the bearer.

Patience is graced
Sooner than haste.

Vita and mort
Are nature's sport.

A word in need
Is a good deed.

The best defence
Is wit and sense.

A good war wields
No more than shields.

A spark full small
Soon burns down all.

There is no law
Without a flaw.

Blind loving's tongue
Sweetens the dung.

An inch of strength
Beats a bad length.

Wait until heaven,
Then marry seven.

Dreams are as tall
As life is small.

In all amounts
Everything counts.

Where makeup crowns
Queens turn to clowns.

Hoods that are false
Soon lose their balls.

Pleasure and reasoning
Are art's best seasoning.

A knight most true
Saves dragons too.

Kithe and make couth
The traits of truth.

Complexity
Is chaos' key.

A penny's luck
Beats a curst buck.

To fiends and friends
Wish all good ends.

I really enjoyed these and found them to be true. I especially liked the Queens and make up.

Amen!

I agree so true these little proverblets.

Wisdom is something I have aspired to for as long as I can remember. I enjoyed these, especially the part about saving the precious little (big) dragons too.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I learned a new word - "kithe" - and enjoyed the seldom used word "couth" and was fascinated by the fact that "uncouth" is used so often in these times, but "couth" almost never.
