   A rolling stone gathers no moss. A shut mouth catches no flies. There was a boy going sewing oats and his father asked him how much would he put to the acre. Two hundred he said. You will not do. You must sow four grains for one to grow. One for the rat one for the crow one for to rot and one for to grow.
