- 1. Eaten bread is soon forgotten. 2 Hunger is good sauce. 3. Make the hay while the sun shines. 4. He says most who says least. You never know the want of water until the well goes dry. Extravagance in youth makes want in old age. East or west home is the best. Many a change on a Springs day. You can't hunt a hare out a bush it is not in. There is a silver lining in every black cloud. Put a little away for a rainy day. The hills are green far away. Out of sight out of mind. A little pot is soon hot. Charity begins at home. Out of debt out of danger.
