  1. Old Proverbs
    Early to bed, and early to rise
    makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    A stitch in time save nine
    There is no hearth, like your own heath
    Gods help is nearer than the door.
    If you have only a goat be on the middle of the fair with it.
    Live horse and you'll eat grass.
    You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
    Have it yourself or be without it.
    The windy day is'nt the day for the scollops
    You can't put a (young) old head on young shoulders
