    (continued from previous page)
    The early bird gets the early worm.
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    Late to bed, and late to rise would make a king beg before he dies.
    When the cat is away, the mice can play.
    Clean you bowl and the Lord will fill it.
    Empty vessels make most sound.
    Time is the best story-teller.
    Hunger is the best sauce.
    The life of a man is his will
    Silks and satins often put out the kitchen fire.
