- (continued from previous page)Save the [?] and spoil the child
The meaner the chaple the farther from God
A half a loaf is better than no bread
I all me what you like but you will suffer for it some day
No matter how near your coat is to you your flesh is nearer
The nearer the bone the sweeter the flesh
You can see an elephant in an other persons eye and you can not see an elephant in your own
Up I go hid or go if you are caught its not my fault
[?] the the book by the cover don't judge he by her looks
Honesty is the best policy
Think of your own faults when you are awake, think of your neighbours when you are asleep
A bad weed grows fast
An early bird catches the early worm
A good beginning is half the work(continues on next page)
