  1. (continued from previous page)
    If you want good neighbours be a good neighbour yourself.
    When your neighbours house is on fire mind your own house.
    If you want forgiveness be ready to forgive yourself.
    A good start is half the battle.
    Do not interfere with that, that does not interfere with you
    Poverty is no crime.
    Do not quarrel with a bad person and the good person will not hurt you.
    Many a fine tree grew on shallow ground and many a good man was brought up in poverty.
    As long as a wet week or a winter's night.
    When the cat is away the mice will play.
    As slow as a funeral.
