    (continued from previous page)
    Better to go to bed supperless than to rise in bebt.
    Evil gotten, evil spent.
    Do not rip up old sores.
    A creaking door hangs long on the hinges.
    Do not make fish of one and flesh of another.
    Better late than never.
    Better do it than wish it done.
    A tree is known by its fruit.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    Every herring must hang by its own head.
    A drowning man will catch at a straw.
    A fool and hi.s money are soon parted
    A fool and his money are soon parted.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    A fool can make money, but it requires a wise man to spend it.
    A penny saved is a penny earned
    He who would reap well must sow well.
