- (continued from previous page)early rising.
When poverty comes in through the door love flies out through the window.
All that glitters is not gold.
Sly water runs deep.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Your daughter is yours all your life, but your son is your son till he gets a wife.
If your cap doesn't suit, don't put it on.
It is never to late to mend.
Manners make the man.
There is no hearth-stone like your own hearth-stone.
You can't take out the flesh what is bred in the bone.
A child must creep before it walks.
You can't put an old head in young shoulders.
