Quote by Thomas Fuller (1608-1661)

• Be not extravagantly high in expression of thy commendations of men thou likest, it may make the hearer's stomach rise.

• Know most of the rooms of thy native country before thou goest over the threshold thereof.

• Enquire not what boils in another's pot.

• If thou are a master, be sometimes blind; if a servant, sometimes deaf.

• Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.

• Purchase not friends by gifts; when thou ceasest to give, such will cease to love.
