must eat an apple before he goes to bed. Handsome is that handsome does. ❖ A man of humor can hardly be a heartless scamp. Banks have no heart. He that is everywhere is nowhere. Fiddlers’ dogs and flies come to feasts uncalled. He that has no enemies has no friends. ❖ He's so blind he can't see a hole through a ladder. The lion is not so fierce as he is painted. Every thing has an ear, and a pitcher has two. A small heart has small desires. It's a poor heart that never rejoices. ❖ Where hearts are true, few words will do. He shoots well that hits the mark. A fair shop and little gain. He that wants hope is the poorest man alive. For the rose the thorn is often plucked. ❖ A short horse is soon curried. Anger is a short maddness. Short shooting loses the game. The longer forenoon, the shorter afternoon. Wife and children are hostages given to fortune. ❖ There is no hanging a man for his thoughts. A calf's head will feed a huntsman and his hounds. A lamb in the house, a lion in the field. A young maid married to an old man,
is like a new house thatched with old straw. The smoke of a man's own house is better than the fire of another. ❖ Everyone is a master in his own house. Every thing is of use to a housekeeper. Fools build houses and wise men buy them. Bare walls make giddy housewives. Omelets are not made without breaking of eggs. ❖ None plays the fool well without wit. He that knows not how to hold his tongue knows not how to talk. Straws show which way the wind blows. The house shows the owner. When the barn is full, you may thresh before the door, ] ❖ Every man can rule a shrew. Don't throw away dirty water till you have got clean. He that runs fastest gets most ground. One saddle is enough for one horse. As sails are to a ship. so are the passions to the spirits. ❖ God sends corn and the devil mars the sack. Quick believers need broad shoulders. Long absent soon forgotten. Speech is silver, silence golden. Light suppers make clean sheets. ❖ The fire which lights us at a distance, will burn us when near. Black will take no other hue. Humble hearts have humble desires. Diversity of humors breeds tumors. A sluggard takes a hundred steps
because he would not take one in due time. ❖ Fair words hurt not the tongue. Many words hurt. He that does his own business hurts not his hand. He that helps the evil hurts the good. Jealousy shuts one door and opens two. ❖❖❖
