- (continued from previous page)Handsome is what handsome does.
To-morrow is never yours until you can call it to-day.
What is the use of repining,
where there is a will, there is a way
The sun may be shining to-morrow
though it is gloomy to-day.
All's well that ends well.
While there is life there is hope,
A fat kitchen makes a lean will.
An empty bag cannot stand.
Fortune favours the brave.
Never sell your hen on a rainy day.
Honesty is the best policy.
Always taking out and never putting in, soon comes to the bottom.
The raven thinks her young, white.
A good name is better than riches.
Deep waters run smoothly.
Do not grasp at too much or you will loose all.
The early bird gets the early worm
Who dainties love shall beggers prove
Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.
Do not count your chickens until they are hatched(continues on next page)- Collector
