  1. The longer here the later there. A dumb priest loses his benefit. An empty house is better than a bad tenant. As old as a tree after a well. Never throw out the dirty water until the clean water is in.
    The surest thing in life is death. Words of kindness cost us nothing. Always taking out of the meal bin never putting in it soon comes to an end. Consult your purse before consulting your dress.
    Plough deep while sluggers sleep you will have corn for to sell and to keep. Go into a goats house for wool. A friend's eye is a good mirror. Order is Heaven's first blessing. There is no cure for death. The beginning of health is sleep and the end of sleep is a sigh. Every patient after his cure. It is better to have an eye on the mouth
