- A woman told me that a woman told her
Lambs are sheep far away.
Don't think too much about yourself.
Don't make a law nor don't break a law.
There is no happiness till you get to heaven.
A good beginning is half the work.
He who rises late must trot all day and can scarce over take his journey at night.
Laugh and the world laughs with you weep and you weep alone.
Fortune favours the brave.
Put manners on your child when it's young.
Competition is the life of trade.
Wine is sweet but the results are bitter.
It is not the day the wind uses you should be gathering scallops.
Alway going to the meal bag.(continues on next page)- Collector
