    thing.
    Bad wind blows good for someone.
    Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you will have corn to sell and to keep.
    Be old when you are young and be young when you are old.

    For learning is better than silver or gold,
    Silver and gold will vanish away
    Well learning illgotten will never decay.
    Health is better than riches.
