- 1) He that buys meat buys bones
He that buys land buys stones.2) Better go to bed supperless than rise in debt.
3) Early to rise, early to rise,
Makes a man, healthy, wealthy, and wise.
4) A still tongue makes a wise head.
5) To bed with the lamb, and rise with the bird.
6) Consult your purse before you buy.
7) Second notions are best but always are dangerous.
8) He that goeth a borrowing goeth a sorrowing.
9) Plough deep while sluggards sleep,
And you'll have seed to sow and to keep.
Plough in snow, harrow in rain,
And you'll never see your seed again.
10) The shoemaker's wife is the worst shod woman in the Parish.- Collector
