Whether make or makes..

I have one query which pops up in mind so often but never get the suitable answer. I will be highly oblized if you kindly give your comments in this regard.
There is well known proverb in english 'Early go to bed and early rise MAKES a man healty and wise'. My query is, why here MAKES is used, it is not a singular quantity, there are two activities (Early go to bed and early rise) are told so why not MAKE is used (instead of MAKES).
May be I am wrong, but I hope to get a reply from your team.

I appriciate to receive your reply in my account also.

Regards,

Tutun
