    (continued from previous page)
    The last said is the easiest mend
    Best of clarks make mistakes.
    The outside of horse is best for the inside of man.
    The early bird catches the worm
    Best of goods are made up in small parcels
    Waste not want not.
    Nothing succeeds like success
    Have it yourself or be without it.
    There is no time like the present time.
    What's every body's business if nobody's business.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed
    Necessity is the mother of invention
    A faint heart never won a fair lady.
    Absence make the heart grow
