  1. (continued from previous page)
    Never throw out the dirty water until you have the clean water in first.
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    By and by is often too easily said.
    Cheerfulness is sunshine in a home.
    He would hear the grass growing and the water flowing.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Never plough May Day.
