Proverbs
Keep what you have until you get what you want.
Live horse and you will get grass.
Far more grows in the field that is planted there.
Wisdom does not come before age.
Do not go to the fair and meet the people coming home.
He who sows not in Spring shall not reap in Autumn
The day of the wind is not the day for thatching
When the rod gets old it becomes hard to bend
When the cat is out the mice are playing
He who does not know his trade is its greatest emery
One good man living is worth two good men who are dead.
The sun always shines after the rain.
The horse of the work is the food.
Hills are green far away.
Health is better that wealth.
Do not mind me or my business, mind your own.
Master give his rights to your servants.
Be kind to animals and they will be likewise to you.
Do not that which does not concern you
Time or tide waits for no man.
Every patient is a doctor after sickness.(continues on next page)
