    (continued from previous page)
    Better to go to bed supperless than to rise in debt.
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    You never miss the water till the well runs dry.
    Many hands make light work.
    Empty vessels make the most sound.
    A shut mouth makes a wise head.
    An empty sack wont stand,
    Neither will a full one bend.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    There is many a slip
