- (continued from previous page)Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
The higher you cut the tree the more the chips will blind you.
Set a begger on horseback and he'll out ride the devil.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
Late to bed and late to rise makes a man's feet double their size.
To bed at dark and up with the lark.
Silk and satin often puts out the kitchen fire.
Its an ill wind blows that does not do someone good.
Never leave for to-morrow what you can do to-day.
It is better to try late than never to well.
Look before you leap.
A green Christmas makes a fat churchyard.
Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you'll have plenty of corn to sell and to keep.
Too much of anything is good for nothing.
Strike the iron while it's hot.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Love many, trust few, try and paddle(continues on next page)- Informant
