  1. (continued from previous page)
    Three removes are as bad as a fire
    A fat kitchen makes a lean will
    If you want to be wealthy think of saving as well as earning.
    Save the pence and the pounds will look after themselves.
    It is only when the well is dry that we know the worth of water
    He who goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
    It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright
    Get what you can and what you get hold.
    Experience teaches
    We give advice but we cannot give conduct.
    Children and fools should not meddle with edge tools.
    Never live beyond your means.
