    1 It is good for sore eyes to see you
    2 As you brew, you must bake.
    3 Hard upon hard makes a bad stone wall, but soft upon soft makes none at all
    4 A slow fire makes sweet malt
    5 A Straw best shows hour the wind
    blows
    6 An Idle man tempts the devil
    7 A stitch in time save nine
    8 There is many a slip twixt the cup and the lip
