Old Proverbs. 4-4-'38
(1) Men who succeed have always been cheerful and hopeful.
(2) Never leave that till tomorrow, which you can do to-day.
(3) We make ourselves our own distress, we are ourselves our happiness.
(4) Gentle words fall lightly but they have great weight.
(5) The help of God is nearer than the door.
