  1. Old Sayings
    A Bird in the hand is wort two in the bush.
    Silks and satins often put out the kitchen fire.
    Then plough deep while sluggards sleep and you will have corn to sell and to keep.
    Work while you call it to day for you know not how much you will be hindered tomorrow.
    Never leave that till tomorrow that which you can do to day
    As good to be out of the world as out of the fashion
