    (continued from previous page)
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    Penny wise, pound foolish
    There is no time like the present.
    Whether crooken or straight the way the high road is the short-cut.
    Never leave off till tomorrow what you can do to-day.
    The butter comes through the brutin [?].
    Never throw out the dirty water till you get in the clean
    It is hard to know the luck of a lousy calf.
    Fear God and shame the devil
    The devil is good to his own
    Friends meet before hills
