- (continued from previous page)Proverb was made, “There is no to-morrow for the sinner.”
Mind the pence and the pounds will mind themselves. You can bring a horse to the river but you can’t make him drink. If you don’t speculate you won’t accumulate. Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. A child must creep before it walks. It’s a long road that there is no turn in. Wilful waste brings woeful want. I’ll got I’ll gone. An old thief is a good tracker. Eaten bread is soon forgotten. As the rod is bent so shall it grow.
