- (continued from previous page)There was never an old shoe but there's an old stocking to match it.
May ye be six months dead before the devil knows it.
So your duty leave the rest to God.
There's no feast till a roast, and no torment till marriages.
A good beginning is half the work.
It's never too late to learn to be good.
Fine words butter no parsnips.
Your son is your son today, but your daughter is your daughter for ever.
Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
Rise with the lark with him to bed.- Collector
