- Don't worry about the future, the present is all thou hast, the future will soon be present, and the present will soon be past.Never trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you.Pretend you know not what it is.
Its the easist thing to do,Woe to those who worry,
Things will come all right.The hour before the dawn of day is the darkest hour of night.When losses heavy meet you, be careful not to bother.God never closes up one gap, but he quickly opens another.Always keep up your spirit in happiness and in mirth.If you do in peace you will reign in dear old mother earth.Never cross a bridge until you meet it.Its an illwind that blows nobody good. The pot needn't call blackie on the griddle.Think twice before you talk once.Don't talk about selling the chickens(continues on next page)
