- (continued from previous page)the widdy when it is green.
12 If men was as good as they think they are,
And women as sweet as they seem,
We would seldom sigh for a foreign shore
Or of paradise mainly dream. - A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck
What is bred in the bone you cannot take it of the flesh.
A waited on pot is long in boiling.
There is luck in leisure.
Higher up the mountain, greener grows the grass.
A long som cook wears a lot of shoes.
A short horse is easy curried.
A hungry eye sees far.
Your eye is bigger than your stomach.- Collector
