- ProverbsWhen poverty comes in the door love flies out through the window.
Put a beggar on horse back and he will ride to destruction.
Dont shout until you are out of the wood.

A penny wise and a pound foolish.
Take care of the pence the pounds will take care of themselves.
A stich in time saves nine.
When poverty comes in the door love flies out through the window.
Beauty never boiled the pot.

Bend the rod and bend the twig.
The help of God is nearer than the door.(continues on next page)
