    (continued from previous page)
    Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.
    All is not gold that glitters
    Half a loaf is better than no bread.
    God helps those who help themselves
    Many a misty morning turns out a sunny day.
    It is not all lost that is in danger.
    It is a bad wind that blows nobody good.
    Keep the shop and the shop will keep you.
    The nearer the church the farther from God.
    You would never know the want of water till the well goes dry.
    Patience and preseverance
