    70 Beauty is only skin deep.
    71 Forced prayers are not good for the soul.
    72 Never meet sorrow half way.
    73 One is never too old to learn.
    74 A wise man always carries his coat to the bog.
    75 Sorrow never comes too late.
    76 Happiness too quickly flies.
    77 A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    78 There's always a blue and a better blue.
    79 Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    80 You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's lug.
