    (continued from previous page)
    God increase your store in your heart to give me more.
    A castle of bones is better than a castle of stones.
    You will never miss the water until the well goes dry.
    There is nothing true but Heaven.
    Never put off till to morrow what you can do today.
    Tis a drole world where no one lives.
    To late to spare when all is spent.
    What ever you do do it well.

    What ever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
    The old dog for the hard road and the pup for the path.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    "Strength" said the wren when he pulled the worm out of the ditch.
    You should never send a chap in a man's place.
