- Plough deep while sluggards sleep
And you shall have corn to sell and to keep.Vessels large may venture more
but little boats should keep near ashore.Never leave till tommorrow what you can do today.Fools build houses and wise men live in them.Children and fools should not handle edged toolsWhen the blackbird sits on a bare thorn
you may sell your cow and by corn.Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.An ounce of example is worth a ton of advice.Too many cooks spoil the broth.It is a long road that his no turn.It is sad hearth (heart (M.J.H.)) that never rejoicesGod makes the back for the burden.(continues on next page)- Collector
