    (continued from previous page)
    A person that lives nearer to the chapel is not nearer to God.
    You cannot put an old head on young shoulders.
    A windy day is not the day for thatching,
    Empty buckets rattle the most.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Do not put your buisiness on the long finger.
