    (continued from previous page)
    Your pocket is your friend.
    Your son is your son to-day but your daughter is your daughter for ever.
    It is lonely to be empty.
    Dont make a custom, and dont break a custom.
    Dont praise or dispraise your self.
    Dead with tea and dead without it.
    A story without an author is not worth anything.
    Dont be hard or dont be soft, dont desert your friend for your own share.
    One penny gets another.
    An empty sack does not stand
    The thing that is got easily is spent easily.
    A friend is recognised in hard ship.
    The person who is up his health is drunk, the person who is down is trampled upon.
    A very good year - a foggy Winter,
    a frosty Spring, a varied Summer, and a sunny Autumn.
    Get up out of bed man of the house,
    I'm asleep and do not waken me.
    The truth is often bitter.
    A little tastes sweet.
