- Better to go to bed supperless than rise in debt.
Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealty and wise.
Penny wise, pound foolish.
The early bird catches the early worm.
Light suppers make long livers.
The day of the big wind is not the day for making the scallops (scolp).
It is late to close the stable door when the steed is gone.
A stitch in time saves nine.
After a storm comes a calm.
Never put off until to-morrow what can be done to-day.
Together with the proverbs there are many old wise sayings such as:-
A man in need is a friend indeed.
As well to be out of the worlds as to be out of fashion.
He who goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.(continues on next page)
