1. He who is a bad servant to himself is often a good servant to other people.
2. The beginning of a shower is a mist and the end of a battle is strife.
3. A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures in the doctor's book.
4. Bows across the sea have long horns.
5. A year of sloes is a sorrowful year, a year of haws is a good year.
6. A sloe year is a low year, a haw year is a braw year
7. Health is better than wealth
8. The had is better of beign warmed but she is worse of being burned.
9. The world wouldent make a race horse of an ass.
10. A friend's eye is a good mirror.
11. A mist on a river is a good mist a mist on a hill is a bad mist
12. The man who does not carry his coat on a dry day does not have it on a wet day.
13. It is empty carts that make most noise
14. Where the women are there is talk.
15. If you do not sow in the Spring you will not reap in the Autumn.- Collector
