    (continued from previous page)
    What you won't see won't sicken you.
    Doctors different patients die
    Im a man you won't meet every day.
    All that you do do with your might. Things done by halves are never done right.
    There are ups and downs in the world. Your son is your son to-day, but your daughter is your daughter for ever.
    Long fasting is no sparing on food.
    Better be an old mans pet that a young mans slave.
    A long churning makes bad butter.
    There is never smoke without fire.
