Saturdays sitting makes a long ending.
Before you marry be sure of a house wherein to tarry.
Tis to late to spare when when all is spent but its never to late to mind.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Early to bed and early to rise is the way to be healthy wealthy and wise.
A glutton lives to eat, a wise man eats to live.
When poverty comes in the door, love flies out through the window.
Marry in haste and repent in pleausure.
Kindle the dry sticks and the green ones will catch.
All is not gold that glitters.
Keep your shop and your shop will keep you.
One year seeding is nine years weeding.
As the fool thinketh, so the bell thinketh.
The eary bird catches the worm.
A wrinkled purse, a wrinkled face.
Do not spur a free horse to death.
A fool and his money soon will part.
While the sun shines make the hay.(continues on next page)
