  1. (continued from previous page)
    mind as what exercise is to the body
    The longest way round is the shortest way home
    Eaten bread is soon forgotten
    Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
    Children should not handle edged tools
    A friend in need is a friend indeed
    A cat may come back but not so the money that is spent foolishly
    Write your letter when you are angry but do not post it until the anger is gone
    Put silk on a goat and it is a goat always
    It is easier to find fault than to give praise
    Half a loaf is better than no bread
    Loneliness is better than strife
    A friend is known in adversity
    Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today
