    (continued from previous page)
    Many hands make light work.
    What ever you do, do it well.
    There is a place for everything and everything in its own place
    Long way around is the short way home.
    Knitting and sewing would keep anyone going.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    Wait for a fine day and you will get it.
    Always when in a hurry take your time.
    He who slings mud is loosing ground.
    One man's meat is another man's poison
    The early bird picks the early worm.
    The wise man always carries his coat.
