  1. If you lie with the dogs you will rise with the fleas.
    A fast mother makes a lazy daughter.
    Put a beggar on horse back and he will ride to hell.
    Tell me your company and I'll tell you who you are.
    What good are all the riches in the world to a man if his wife is a widow.
    Advise a fool against his will and he is of the same opinion still.
    It is better to be born lucky than rich.
