    (continued from previous page)
    It is the rottenest rib in the house that cracks first
    The mills of God grind slowly but the grind exceedingly small.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A faint heart never won a fair lady.
    He is a wise man who changes his mind but a fool never
    The pen is mightier than the sword
    A closed mouth makes a wide head
    It is not the noisiest that bears most or labour hardest.
    Look before you leap
    Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones
