- (continued from previous page)Liars ought to have good memories.Speak of the devil and he will appear. A crust of bread and liberty.A burnt child dreads the fire. A new brush sweeps clean.Distant fields look green. A shut hand catches no birds. It takes a good man to mind his own buisness. Look before you leap. It is better to prop and stay than build and run away. Fools build houses and wise men live in them. Blood is thicker than water. All is not gold that glistens. Great minds think alike and fools seldom differ. On their merits modest men are dumb. Not dead but gone before.
