- (continued from previous page)Honesty is the best policy.
You will never know your luck until you try.
The best horse leaps the ditch.
It's far away what God sends.
You could guess eggs where your would see shells.
It's better to be born lucky than rich.
Loud laughter is the sign of a weak mind.
The longest day must have and end and the dearest friends must part.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
A good man never praised himself.
A bad trades man faults his tools,
Beauty is but skin deep.
Gold does not glitter as bright as brass.
All paths don't lead straight, much fains to have more.
A covetous man is always in want.
Time enough lost the ducks.
Tell the truth and shame the devil.(continues on next page)
