Francois Rabelais

Tell the truth and shame the devil.

Everything comes in time to those who can wait.

It is my feeling that Time ripens all things with Time all things are revealed Time is the father of truth.

From the gut comes the strut, and where hunger reigns, strength abstains.

How shall I be able to rule over others, that have not full power and command of myself?

I won't undertake war until I have tried all the arts and means of peace.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

When undertaking marriage, everyone must be the judge of his own thoughts, and take counsel from himself.

Gestures, in love, are incomparably more attractive, effective and valuable than words.

Misery is the company of lawsuits.

If the skies fall, one may hope to catch larks.

I place no hope in my strength, nor in my works: but all my confidence is in God my protector, who never abandons those who have put all their hope and thought in him.

To good and true love fear is forever affixed.

Science without conscience is the death of the soul.
