MARRY in May, rue for aye
one WEDDING brings another
happy’s the WOOING that is not long a-doingwilfulness see obstinacy
winners and losers see also gains and losses
let them LAUGH that win
he LAUGHS best who laughs last
he who LAUGHS last, laughs longest
what you LOSE on the swings ..
you cannot LOSE what you never had
what a NEIGHBOUR gets is not lost
the WEAKEST go to the wall
you WIN a few, you lose a few
you can’t WIN them allwisdom
you cannot CATCH old birds with chaff
EXPERIENCE is the father of wisdom
FOOLS ask questions that wise men
cannot answer
KNOW thyself
KNOWLEDGE is power
one cannot LOVE and be wise
out of the MOUTHS of babes—
you cannot put an OLD head on young shoulders
a STILL tongue makes a wise headwishes see under wanting and having
wives and husbands see also marriage BETTER to be an old man’s darling ..
a BLIND man’s wife needs no paint
the GREY mare is the better horse
the HUSBAND is always the last to know
he that will THRIVE must first ask his wifewomen
never CHOOSE your women or your
linen by candlelight the FEMALE of the species is more deadly than the male
