- (continued from previous page)The day will come when no man can work.
Time is a good storyteller.
A little tastes sweet.
It is a long road that has no end.
There is no one as blind as the man that cannot see.
It is difficult to cut wool off a goat.
A blind man is a bad judge of colours.
We live to die and we die to live and the more we die the better we live.
When a person is up his health is drunk and when a person is down he is trampled upon.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Do not sell your hen on a wet day.
Live horse and you will get grass.
Do not put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
An empty sack does not stand.
Do not judge one part of the story until you hear the other.Nellie Delaney
