Quotes by Thomas Tusser
Seek home for rest, for home is best.
God sendeth and giveth both mouth and meat.
Sweet April showers do spring May flowers.
At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year.
Who quick be to borrow and slow be to pay, their credit is naught, go they ever so gay.
For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine, For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine, For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve, For the next matrons or drudges they serve, For the next doth crave a staff for a stay, For the next a bier to fetch them away.
Fear God, and offend not the Prince nor his laws, and keep thyself out of the magistrate's claws.
Make hunger thy sauce, as a medicine for health.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
At Christmas play and make good cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year.
