  1. A cat in gloves catches no mice
    Only for something the sky would fall.
    Whats bred in the ["bone' interlined with carat] is hard to knock it out of the flesh
    Enough is as good as a feast
    Fair + easy goes far in the day
    Have it yourself or do without it

  2. Better be born lucky than rich
    Ignorance must be excused and where it is, it must be used.
    The worse luck now they better again
    Bread to bread is bad kitchen
    There is a limit to paitence.
    Think twice before you speak once.
    Never look forward to future hapiness
    A new broom sweeps clean
