- Health is better than riches.
When your neighbours house is on fire take care off your own.
Too late too spare when all is spent.
Fools makes dinners and wise men eat them. A name is better than riches. Feast and your halls are crowded fast and you fast alone. In the midst of live death enters. The hour before the dawn is the darkest. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone. He who slings mud is loosing ground. For want of democracy is for want of sense. Hell is paved with good intentions. Facts alone are stubbon things. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Its a long lane that there is no turn to. Keep your shop and your shop will keep you. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Paper wont refuse ink. She pays him in his own coin.(continues on next page)
