  1. (continued from previous page)
    can do to day.
    Never judge the book by its cover.
    Kind hearts are more than coronets.
    Early to bed, and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    All is well that ends well.
    The more haste the less speed.
    Be not the first by whom the new is tried
    Nor yet the last to cast the old aside.
    Honesty is the best policy.
    Bright is the sunshine after the rain.
    Little drops of water, Little grains of sand, makes a mighty ocean and a solid land.
    When the drum beats to battle that is not the time to sharpen your sword.
    Manner makes the man and the tailor his appearance.
    Never count your chickens to they are hatched
    Two heads are better than one.
    Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
    A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.
    Used keys ae always bright.
    Empty vessels make most noise.
