- Plough deep while sluggards sleep.
A hunter of shadows and himself a shadow.
Bread is the staff of life.
Hell is paved with good intentions.
Don't swap horses in crossing a stream.
Spare the rod and spoil the child
Coming events cast their shadow.
It's an ill wind blows no one any good.
God helps those who help themselves.
Wide will wear but tight will tear.
Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise.
Property has its duties as well as its rights.
A good name is better than riches.
Quarrelsome folks have few friends.
Two of a trade never agree.
The last straw breaks a horse's - back.- Collector
