- (continued from previous page)Perseverance wins the day.
Never put off until to morrow what you can do to day.
Don't count the chickens until they are hatched.
A bark is often worse than a bite.
The watch pot never boils.
It is better to be sure than to be sorry.
Willful waste makes a woeful want.
Never take a book by a cover.
The longer you live the more you know.
As the old cock crows the young cock learns.
God helps those who help themselves.
The longest way around is the safest way home.
It is too late to close the door when the horse is stolen.
Half a loaf is better than none.
Up with the lark with him to bed.
Time enough lost the ducks.
Long [?] comes at last.
A good thing is worth waiting for.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Never put the cart before the horse.(continues on next page)
