- (continued from previous page)Think twice before you speak once.
As good to be out of the world as out of the fashion
Command of hand is grand
A stitch in time saves nine.
Facts are stubborn things
A shut mouth catches no flies.
Better late than never.
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.Alate saving is better than an early buying" is an old saying and a true one. There was once a man with a large family and he was very lazy. He had a good farm and when the spring came the weather was not too good so he was putting off the sowing of his crops from day to day until it got too late. He said it was just as good he would buy flour and every thing else for his house. In the meantime cattle, sheep, and other stock got very cheap so he was not able to meet all his calls and they had to live poorly.
