- (continued from previous page)It is better to be born lucky than born rich.
It is better to be a coward for five minutes than a dead man for the rest of your life.
It is better late than never.
One bird on your hand is worth two on a bush_
It takes every sort to make a world.
If Candlemas Day is dull and grey the most of the Winter is over.
There is nothing bad there cannot be worse.
A wet May fills the garden with oats and hay.
If February wets the gardens March dries them.(1) The hills look green far away
(2) Well begun is half done
(3) Never leave off what you can do today untill tomorrow
(4) The one that (reaps) sows is the one that reaps
(5) Save the hay while the sun shines(continues on next page)- Informant
