- It's better to be alone than in bad company. One wasp never stung another. It's better to be born lucky than rich. A watched pot never boils. It's a wise man that carries his coat a fine day. "Time enough" lost the ducks. The hills are green far away. A bird in the hand is worth two on a bush. Necessity is the mother of invention. Plough deep while sluggards sleep. Better late than never. The greater the rogue the more genteel.
Never leave till to-morrow(continues on next page)- Collector
