    (continued from previous page)
    Its a lonesome Seraft without bacon.
    Empty vessels make the greatest sound.
    The smoother the water, the deeper the river.
    A man without learning and wearing good clothes,
    Is like a gold ring in a Gurneg pig's nose.
    Learning and manners are charming companions
    A boiled stew is a spoiled stew.
    There is no use crying over spilt milk.
    You'll never miss the water till the well runs dry.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
