(continued from previous page)
In the mouth of the bag the run is. Keep with your hand when you know your ailment. Make the hay while the sun shines. The worse luck now the better again. It is a long road that has no turn. An hour in the morning is worth two at night. There is no hearth stone like your own. If you want to know me come to live with me. He is a bad dog that is not worth whistling after. For want of a nail the shoe was lost, for want of a horse the rider was lost.
