where does manners maketh the man come from
William Horman The Vulgaria draws from a variety of sources, for example including the saying "It does no good for all truth to be told nor all wrong imputed" derived from the Old English Durham Proverbs.[20] Another example of a proverb to be translated is "Somtyme of a myshappe cometh a good turne".[21] The proverb "necessity is the mother of invention" appears, perhaps for the first time in English, translated as "Mater artium necessitas".[22] Other sayings included the advice not to "offereth a candell to the deuyll", to remember that "many a ragged colt proued to a good horse", "it is better a chylde unborne than untaught", "manners maketh man" and "one scabbed shepe marreth a hole flocke".[23] "That the whiche muste be wyll be" reflects the Spanish "Que Sera, Sera".[24] The book gives practical advice. "At a soden shyfte leere [empty] barellis, tyed together, with boardis above, make passage over a streme".[25] He says that alleys in gardens, covered with vines, "do great pleasure with the shadow in parchynge heat, and clusters of grapis maketh a pleasant walkynge alley".[26]
