(continued from previous page)

Eaten bread is soon forgotton.
Necessity is the mother of invention
A good beginning is half the battle
A wise man carries his coat on a fine day.
Make hay while the sun is shining.

A good retreat is better than a bad battle. It's better be little mean than too much at a loss. Let no man know your motives and no man shall know your ideas May and June two months in bloom Then we choose October The leaves shall fall and so will us all. When youth and bloom is over. It is never too late to mend. Let the last hour be the hardest. A stich in time save nine.
