- (continued from previous page)care of themselves.
One penny gains another.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man, healthy, wealthy and wise.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Praise the youth, and he will come.
Wait horse, until you get grass.
Health is better than wealth.
God's help is nearer than the door.
Well begun is half done.
A feast and a famine.
Don't buy a pig in a bag.
Often a man without a plan was hanged.
If the cap suits you, wear it.
Easy earned, easy spent.
A friend in need, is a friend indeed.
Its a long road without a turn.
The truth is often sour.
You can't chew meal and whistle.
You can't work and talk.
The bad workman quarrels with his tools.
When the cat is out the mouse will play.
When the wine is in, the wit is out.
It's often a man's tongue broke his nose.
A good word never broke a man's mouth yet.
No news is not bad news.(continues on next page)- Collector
