    (continued from previous page)
    A light heart lives long.
    Better to die than lie.
    An empty sack do not stand.
    Charity never faileth.
    Do well and have well.
    Drive not the poor away.
    Evil habits grow apace.
    Give well give quickly.
    Fools live but learn not.
    Hunger is the best sauce.
    Kind words cost little.
    Keep thy word justly.
    Look before you leap.
    Think before you act.
    Over all is God's love.
    Pride will have a fall.
    More haste less speed.
    Manners maketh man.
    A bird in the hand is worthy two in the bush.
    Saying and doing are two things.
    Never judge the book by the cover.
    A blind man is a bad judge of colours.
