    (continued from previous page)
    Strife is better than loneliness. Hunger is good sauce. Lie with the lamb and rise with the birds. A blind man is a bad judge of colours. Throwing apples into the orchard. Where a person is up his health is drunk, when a person is down he is trampled upon. A borrowed horse has hard hoops. People meet, but the hills do not meet. There is no help or cure against death. It is difficult to cut wool of a goat. The truth never choked a man. God made the back for the burden. The truth is often bitter. The time and the tide wait for no one. A friend is recognised in hardship. The thing got easily is spent easily. Your pocket is your friend. The person is the clothes. Fine feathers make fine
