The proof of the pudding is in the eating

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

There are so many things about which some old man ought to tell one while one is little; for when one is grown one would know them as a matter of course

Once bitten twice shy

It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all

Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened
