    (continued from previous page)
    After a storm comes a calm
    It is too late to spare when all is spent
    Better late than ever
    The early bird catches the early worm
    Laugh and the world laughs with you
    Weep and you weep alone
    A mans house is his castle
    The longest way round is the shortest way home
    Hell is paved with good intentions
    A half a loaf is better than no bread
    You should always look before you leap
    Talk of an angel and he is bound to appear
