  2. Proverbs

    Plough deep while the sluggards sleep for you will have corn to sell and corn to keep.
    Half a loaf is better than no bread.
    Tis hard to make an empty bag stand.
    One year's seeding is nine year's weeding.
    Too late to spare when all is spent.
    You'll never miss the water till the well runs dry.
