Great boast, small roast

Great cry and little wool, as the fellow said when he sheared his hogs

In the midst of great joy do not promise to give a man anything; in the midst of great anger do not answer a man’s letter

Great business is good; to sit and sip this glass is better

A single beam cannot support a great house

The great question is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with failure

Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes

Great blessings come from heaven; small blessings come from man

Small men think they are small; great men never know they are great

A clever person turns great troubles into little ones and little ones into none at all
