    (continued from previous page)
    Never take the book by its cover.
    The darkest hour is before the dawn.
    A new broom sweeps clean but the old one knows the corners best.
    New kings, new laws,
    Never throw the dirty water out until you have the clean water in.
    A closed tongue makes a wise head.
    Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
    Never leave off for tomorrow what you can do today.
