  1. Old Saying.
    The person that does not drink but water won't be drunk.
    He who does not carry his coat a fine day wont have it a wet day.
    A good laugh, and a long sleep are the two best cures in a doctor's book.
    It is hard to put an old head on young shoulders.
    Those of the most knowledge most seldom speak.
    A persons mouth often broke his nose.
    He who is not strong must be clever.
