    (continued from previous page)
    A wrinkled purse, a wrinkled face.
    False friends are worse than bad enemies.
    All is not gold that glitters.
    A full purse makes a light heart.
    Ash green makes a fire for a queen.
    Wide will wear and tight will tear.
    It is money that makes the wheel go round.
    When there is snow on the mountains the valley is cold.
    Laugh and the world laughs with you.
    A good name is better than riches.
    Save in order to spend wisely.
    When poverty comes in of the door love jumps out of the window.
    A cow in the clout soon runs out.
    Better to wear out shoes than sheets.
    Never sleep on the ground when you have a feather bed beside you.
