  1. (continued from previous page)
    It is too late to spare when all is spent.
    Keep thy shop and thy shop will keep thee.
    The eye of a man does more work than both his hands.
    Out of sight out of mind.
    Youth is the time to learn.
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    Young a gambler old a beggar.
    Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A covetous person is ever in want.
    Blessed are the poor in heart.
    Cleave to that which is good.
    A friend in need is a friend in deed.
    Do your duty come what may.
    Empty vessels make most sound.
    Honest men are easily bound.
    Good work deserves good wages.
