- (continued from previous page)"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise", said of a man that if he goes to bed early and rises early, he will have good health and plenty of riches.
"Late to bed and late to rise makes a man carry the bag before he dies", said of a man that would not go to bed in time nor rise in time and that he would go begging before he would die.
"He is a bad man that is late twice the same day".
"If you lie down with a dog, you will rise with fleas", said of a person who falls into the bad habits of those he keeps company with.
"He could herd mice or fleas at a crossroads", said of a person that is more than cute.
