- Early to bed, early to rise
Makes a man happy healty and wise.
The less you say the better you do.
No morning sun lasts the whole. day.
What you do not know will not trouble you.
Correct in yourself what you blame in others.
Make the hay while the sun shines.
Think twice before you say.
An empty bag will not. stand upwards.
To many maids spoil the butter.
The less you say the better.
A good man is better than riches.
Promise little and do much
It is better be born lucky than rich.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.(continues on next page)
