- (continued from previous page)For the want of a nail the shoe was lost.Pride is so loud as a beggar in want.Kind hearts are more than coronets.A good start is half the work.We have not here a lasting city.Kind words cost nothing.Be good sweet maid, and let who will be clever.Rome was not built in a day.When you have work to do. Do it with a will.United we stand. United we fall.Be kind to the old and weak.Be kind to birds, dumb animals and everything.Misfortune comes only to the wealthy.Little things on little wings, lead many a soul to heaven.Empty vessels make most sound.Minute by minute so passes the day.Used keys are always bright.
