He who goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
Many thing grows in the garden that were never sown there.
Of small account is a fly till it gets into your eye.

By learning to obey we know how to command.
Take things always by the smooth handle.
A pigs ear can never make mutton.
You will never miss the water till the well runs dry.(continues on next page)
