- (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.- Collector
