  1. Many hands make light work.
    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do to day.
    Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
    To err is human, to forgive divine.
    Better late than never.
    Facts are stubborn things.
    He who slings mud is losing ground.
    Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you'll weep alone.
    On their merits modest men are dumb.
    As good to be out of the world as out of the fashion.
    Never putting into the meal tub but always taking out and it soon comes to the bottom.
    The end must justify the means.
