  1. (continued from previous page)
    Never put back till tomorrow what you can do today.
    What is worth doing atall is worth doing well.
    A shut mouth catches no flies.
    When the cat goes away the mice can play.
    When all fruits fail welcome haws.
    Those who try to grab everything usually end up by getting nothing.
    The early bird catches a worm.
    You should not take a book by the cover.
    Every foe laughs at his own folly.
    Its a long lane there isnt a turn in.
    Its a strong wind that will not blow, but it will favor some
