- (continued from previous page)Many feathers make a bed.
Blood is thicker than water.A burned child dreads the fire.
He who digs a pit for others often falls into it himself.A lie hurts him most who tells it.
What is right for one is fair for the other.If you don't want to get floured don't go into the mill.
Clean and whole make poor clothes shine.Better alone than in bad company.
- He that rises late must trot all day.
A long churning makes bad butter.Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy, and wise.It's far away what God sends.
The darkness hour preceeds the dawn.(continues on next page) - Collector
