- (continued from previous page)the wood.
It is a wise man who minds his own business. - Sow in Spring to reap in harvest.
There's no rose without a thorn.
It is better to bend than to break.
It's better late than never.
Lose the sheep for a halfpenny worth of tar.
Saying and doing are two things.,
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
After the storm comes a calm.
One good turn deserves another
Hail fellow well met.
Keep a firm grip on your home steeds.
Laugh and the world laughs with you(continues on next page)- Collector
