  1. (continued from previous page)
    All that glitter is not gold.
    The whistle of a woman or the crow of a hen wakes the devil out of his den.
    By klearning to obey we know how to command.
    He who fights and runs away may live to fight another day.
    The more we have, the more we want.
    Every picture tells its own story.
    A good thing is worth waiting for.
    A hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world.
    A half an hour too early is better than half an hour late.
