A poem ought to be well made at first, for there is many a one to spoil it afterwards. A wren in the hand is better than a crane to be caught. Possession satisfies A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea. The thief is no danger to the beggar.
Poverty is no shame.
Two things that go for loss-turf on a mountain and the wisdom of a poor man. There is no virtue in the herb that is not got in time. A postponement till morning A postponement for ever. If you meet a red-harird woman,you'll meet a crowd. It's better to be sorry and stay than to be sorry and go away.
