    (continued from previous page)
    Beauty never boils the pot
    Two heads are better than one
    Many hands make light work
    Too many cooks spoil the broth
    The wisest hen often lays out
    A dirty grate makes the dinner late
    It is late to save when all is spent
    Home love is the best love
    An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening
    Use not to-day what to-morrow you may want
    The best horse often stumbles
    Where there is an "if" there is a "want"
    There is no smoke without fire
