- (continued from previous page)'Tis time enough to bid the devil good morrow when you meet him.
Leave well enough alone.
The more rain the more rest, too much fine weather is never the best.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
The more hurry the less speed.
The ready way round is the shortest way home.
A straw best shows how the wind blows.
The day of the wind is not the day of the scallop.
Three removes are as bad as a fire as poor Richard says.
Make hay while the sun shines.
- Time enough lost the ducks and fair and easy found them.
Hunger is good sauce.
It is a bad wind that does not blow good for someone.
Thinking is bad wit.
Your pocket is your nearest friend.(continues on next page) - Collector
