- Age is honourable put the creel on your father
Live horse and you will get grass.
Better late than never.
Used keys are always shiny.
Dip in the dip and give a hand to your ma.
As you live yourself you judge your neighbours.
Far away thunder brings near-hand rain.
You are as ignorant as Caise Brogs.
You are as lazy as butter is greasy.
When you have no-one to fight with fight with your own nails.
Empty vessels make most noise.(continues on next page)- Collector
