  1. Return good for evil.
    A stitch in time saves none.
    Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you will have corn to sell and keep.
    Better alone than in bad company.
    He who by the plough must drive himself must either hold or drive.
    The day of the wind is not the day for the scolips[?].
    The nature of the beast breaks out n the eyes of a cat.
