Proverb worth Preserving Hasty People Drink
the wine of life scalding hot Death the only
master who takes his servants without
a character A sour faced wife fills
the tavern Contents the mother of
good Digestion when pride and poverty
marry together their children are
want and crime where hard work
kills ten idleness kills a hundred
men Folly and pride walk side by side
he that borrows binds himself
with a neighbours rope he thats too
good for good advice is too good for
his neighbours company Friends
and photographs never flatter
wisdoms always at home to those
who call the firmest friends
ask the Fewest Favours
From Punch April 15th 1800
(This item cannot have been put in the book by John Warren nor can the date be correct. Firstly Punch was not published until 1841. Also there is reference to photography. The date then is likely to be 1900 but who added it to the diary?)
