“Three things know a secret-First; the lady in a dream,The dog that barks no warning,And a maid that does not scream.”

“Of three things be wary-of a feather on a cat,The shepherd eating mutton,And a guardsman that is fat. ”

“In a dog's world, only three states existed: "now," "in a while," and "forever." If someone left, he was gone "forever," and when he returned they rejoiced as much as if he were back from the dead precisely because he'd been gone "forever.”

“Three things see no end-A flower blighted ere it bloomed,A message that was wasted,And a journey that was doomed.”

“Three things never trust in-The maiden sworn as pure,The vows a king has given,And an ambush that is sure.”

“Three things never anger or you'll not live for long;A wolf with cubs,A man with power, And a woman's sense of wrong.”

“Three things trust and cherish well-The horse on which you ride,The beast that guards and watches,And your shield-mate at your side.”
