- (continued from previous page)Death is a black camel which kneels at everbody's door.
He who spits at the wind spits at his own face.
A little hill in a low place thinks itself a mountain.
A closed mouth catches no flies.
The safest place to keep a secret is in the ear of a dead camel.

Better to die than ever to tell a lit.
The best hurler is on the fence.
Health is sweeter than gold.
Never expect an old head to be on young shoulders.(continues on next page)
