63. Smooth waters run deep, but the dirt lies at the bottom.
64. Hard work was never easy not dry bread was never greasy.
65. He that would thrive must rise at five and he that has thriven can wait on until seven.
66. Larger vessels venture more. But, smaller vessels should keep near the shore.
67. A man without learning and wearing good clothes
Is like a gold ring
In a barrow pig's nose.
68. Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.Found by Nora Nic Ghloinn,
