- It is easier to build two chimneys than to keep fire in one.
Rolling stones gather no moss.
He is a bad workman that finds faults with his tools.
Praise a fair day at night time.
A lazy man is no addition to any one.
Its a good horse thats able to pull his own load.
When at school pay all attention to your books.
Plough deep while sluggards sleep.
Life is a short day but a working day.
No man can either live piously or die rightiously without a wife.
No morning sun lasts the whole day
No use in locking the stable when the steed is stolen.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
A good dry boot is better than a pound in your pocket.
A loaf under your arm is worth two on a shop window.
To much gossip is not good for any one.(continues on next page)
