- (continued from previous page)Rising late one must gallop all day.
They that have the name of early rising can sleep till dinner time.
There is no fire without smoke.
It is a long road there is no turn in.
Put a beggar on horse back and he will out ride the devil.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Many hands make light work.
Its better to go to bed supperless than to rise in debt.
Cleanliness is next to greatness.
Live horse and you will get grass.
Necessity needs no law.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
Thrust in God and He will not deceive you
Idleness is a short road to misery.
Method is the key to business.
