   A slow fire makes sweet malt

   A stitch in time saves nine

   Spend no strength in worry, you need it all for duty

   We beg on a foolscap and thank on a postcard

   To forgive is good will, but to forget is good will-power

   Health is the best wealth

   What you can do to-day don't put off until to-morrow

   Tell me your company and I'll tell you what you are

   A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

   Hills are green far away

   Too many cooks spoil the broth

   It's a poor house with-out a housewife

   After a storm, comes a calm

   There is a slippery stone at every gentleman's door

   It is a bad wind that does not favour somebody

   It takes every class of people to make a world

   Never take the book by the cover
