    (continued from previous page)
    Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you, or you'll double trouble and trouble others too.
    New friends are silver, but old ones are gold.
    A man without learning, and wearing grand clothes, is like a gold ring in a guinea-pig's nose.
    Always hope for the best.
    Life is a test, and a hard and bitter one.
    Throwing water on a drowned rat.
    The jewel that is hard to find is the most beautiful.
    Nature is stronger than training.
    Constant dropping wears away stones.
    Sending coal to Newcastle
