“Keep the bad dog on your side”
Keep the bad dog on your side the good one won't bite you.
Sleep is better than rest.
It is hard to catch a bird with a shut fist.
Late to bed and late to rise makes a man beg before he dies.
Where ignorance is bliss it is folly, to be wise.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
A cat in love will catch no mice.
Strike the iron when it is hot.
Think of saving as well as getting.
Grasping at too much often loses all.
A burned child dreads the fire.
A child must creep before he walks.
It is an ill wind that blows, that does not do someone good.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
If the wind goes through you the light does not.
You cannot whistle and chew meal.
Those who would slight my horse would buy my horse.
Do not be counting the chickens before they are hatched.
Always look before you leap.(continues on next page)
