- He that dosent plough in Winter starves in Summer.
When the wind blows the mill goes.
Poor walls make the woman of the house lonely.
On his own saddle one rides safest
A good name is easier lost than won
Listeners never hear good of themselves
When two quarrel both are to blame
Friends are known in time of need.

Out of debt out of danger.(continues on next page)
