  1. Proverbs (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    A man full of words shall not prosper in the earth.
    Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.
    All is not gold that glitters.
    Penny wise and pound foolish.
    The longest way around is the safest way home
    The more hurry the less speed!
    Cows afar off wear long horns!
    Pride before a fall!
    Waste not, want not!
    When poverty came in at door love flew out the window!
    Better late than never!
