    (continued from previous page)
    She pays him in his own coin.
    A fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind.
    For want of decency is want of sense.
    Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
    To err is human to forgive is divine.
    Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
    A scabby head is easily bled.
    The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.
