- (continued from previous page)said when she kissed the cow
A swarm of bees in June is worth a silver spoon
A swarm of bees in May is worth a load of hay.
A swarm of bees in July is not worth a fly.
Every man (to) has his price
Many a flower is born to blush unseen
Hell is paved with good intentions

- Fain would the cat fish eat, But she is loth to wet her feet.
Fools learn nothing from wise men, but wise men learn much from fools.
For a mischievous dog a heavy clog.
He thats convinced agains his will is of his own opinion still.
He that is truly wise and great Lives both too early and too late.
He laughs best who laughs last.
He that has a wish for his supper, may go to bed hungry.(continues on next page) - Collector
