- (continued from previous page)Your pocket is your friend.
Fine feathers make fine birds.
Your son is your son to-day, but your daughter is your daughter for ever.
Practise makes perfect.
Practise what you preach.
God gave the back for the load.
The person who has most gets most.
You can't get wool from a goat.
Don't make fish of one and flesh of another.
Death is the same as sleep.
Death has no cure.
To every cow her calf, to every cat her kind.
What the eye can't see, the heart can't feel.
Tell your company, and you tell who you are.
The deed will praise itself.
You can't put an old head on young shoulders.
Don't cultivate a habit, and you won't have to break it.
