    (continued from previous page)
    No man gets to a high place without a woman standing by to cheer him
    A word to the wise is enough
    Thanks for the next for I am sure of that one.
    Constant dropping wears away stones
    The eye of a master will do more work than both his hands
    If you would be wealthy think of saving as well as of getting. Always taking out of a meal bag, and never putting in again soon comes to the bottom.
    Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge
    A straight path is not the way to the King's palace
    The river runs straight till it comes to a rock
    Look at your penny three times before you spend it
    Fools make feasts and wise men eat them
    Daisies close their eyes when the sun goes down
    Don't take the shoe without the lacing.
