- A slow hound is often lucky.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Smooth water runs deep.
Merit alone is worthy of love.
Prevarication brings discord.
However long the way may seem, happiness awaits you at the end.
Greed and avarice brings many sorrows.
Don't despise the new: the new maybe true.
A stout heart will vanquish enemies.
Seek success and you will find it.
Work is good and brings reward.
Justice is good only when tempered with mercy.
Love is Heaven and Heaven is love.
He liberal: there is much happiness to be found in giving.(continues on next page)
