    (continued from previous page)
    Industry is the parent of success.
    Virtue is the fairer far, than beauty.
    Diet cures more than the doctor.
    Idle people never have leisure.
    Acts speak louder than words.
    Have it yourself or be without it.
    Tis a wise man minds his own business.
    A bad wind blows good for someone.
    There is no place like home.
    Little said is soonest mended.
    Tis easy to throw water on a drowned rat.
    Dead men tell no tales.
    Doctors differ and patients die.
    Prevention is better than cure.
    Manners made the man.
    Rome was not built in a day.
    Anything half done is never done right.
    The man the talks the most, does the least.
    Hard work is not easy.
    The best of clerks make mistakes.
