- When poverty comes in at the door, love flies out of the window.
Dig deep where sluggards sleep you'll have corn to sell and keep.
He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day.

Fine Feathers make fine Birds.
An empty sack wont stand
Marry in haste and repent at leisure.
Time and tide will wait for no man.(continues on next page)
