   65 One swallow never made a summer
   It is hard to kill a bad thing.
   66 the man on the ditch is a good footballer.
   67 Little amuses children
   68 There are many men of many minds and many birds of different kinds
   69 What you are when you are young so will you be when you are old

   70 The truth can be blamed but it cannot be blamed. 71 Where there's a will, there's a way. 73 The man on the ditche is a good hurler. 73 Its hard to bleed a stone. 74 A pound in you pocket is worth ten on the wall. 75 As long as the pitcher goes to the well it will be broken at last. 76 There's good goods in small parcels. 77 The hills far away are green. 78 A straw best shows how the wind blows. 79 The longest way round is the shortest way home.
