- (continued from previous page)bin an never putting any in soon comes to the bottom.
A horse with the most marks will kick the highest.
Never trust an orange man's laugh or a horse's heel.
Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you will have corn to sell and to keep.
A watched pot never boils.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
It is no use to throw water on a drowned rat.

Never throw away the dirty water till you have the clean water brought in.(continues on next page) - Collector
