- Once refused never accepted.
A bird in your hand is better than two in a bush.
Take no thought for the morrow.
Time and tide wait for no man.
Spend and God will send.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
What can't be cured must be endured.
Have it yourself or be without it.
Get married in May and you'll rue the day.
Ash in earnest and you'll surely receive.
Tell your mind to no man.
Never judge any man by his countenance.
To forget an injury is the mark of a noble mind.
Paper never refuses ink.
Never take the book by the cover
Idleness is the mother of all mischief.
+The nearer the bone the sweeter the meat.
The longer you lived the more you'll know.(continues on next page)- Collector
