    The man on the land is a good boatman.

  3. The horse has not quite escaped that drags its halter.
    The brighter the moon shines, the more the dogs howl.
    One years seeding is nine years weeding.
    Mettle is dangerous in a blind horse.
    Leave your jest when its at its best.
    Love without end has no end.
    Lose an hour in the morning and you will be all day finding it.
