  1. Old Sayings.
    Beware of the man, let him even be your brother. That the hair of his head and beard are not of one colour.
    A wise old owl lived in an oak. The more he saw, the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard, and many should take pattern by this old bird.
    He that hideth findeth.
    One man may take a horse to the water, but twenty men could not make him drink.
    To morrow's sun may never shine, but after this there comes a fine.
