    "For the want of a nail the shoe was lost;
    "Live horse and eat grass;
    "Its a long road that has'nt a turn.
    "The old dogs for the hard road;
    And the pups for the path;
    "Empty vessels make the most noise
    "Rising late one must gallop all day;
    "Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise;
