Despair ruins some, presumption many.

Two dry Sticks will burn a green One.

Strict punctuality is a cheap virtue.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Those who laugh often never grow old.

He that hath a Trade, hath an Estate.

Diligence is the mother of good luck.

Every pot must sit on its own bottom.

What you would seem to be, be really.

A full Belly brings forth every Evil.

As often as we do good, we sacrifice.

Who pleasure gives, Shall joy receive

Never praise your cider or your horse

Nothing preaches better than the act.

What is the use of a new-born child ?

He that rises late must trot all day.

When Wine enters, out goes the Truth.

An old man in a house is a good sign.

As Pride increases, Fortune declines.

Spare when young, and spend when old.

If you have time don't wait for time.

Never ruin an apology with an excuse.

He that speaks much, is much mistaken.

Sloth and Silence are a Fool's Virtues

A man in a passion, rides a mad horse.

Fish and visitors stink in three days.

Nine men in ten are would be suicides.

Kill no more pigeons than you can eat.

Men take more pains to mask than mend.

He that lives well, is learned enough.

Where liberty is, there is my country.

Perhaps I was too saucy and provoking.

Games lubricate the body and the mind.

Great Modesty often hides great Merit.

One day is worth a thousand tomorrows.

Idle hands are the devil's playthings.

Our necessities never equal our wants.

The rotten apple spoils his companion.

A lie stands on one leg, truth on two.

Here Skugg lies snug As a bug in a rug.

A full Belly is the Mother of all Evil.

Keep conscience clear, then never fear.

Fear to do ill, and you need fear else.

Little rogues easily become great ones.

Where there's no law, there's no bread.

Cunning proceeds from want of capacity.

Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise

Be not sick too late, nor well too soon

To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.

In humility imitate Jesus and Socrates.
