- (continued from previous page)All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Spare the rod and spoil the child. Never put off until to-morrow what you can do to day. Mind the pennies and the pounds will mind themselves. There is no use in crying over spilt milk. Don't throw water on a drowned rat. A half a loaf is better than no bread. Honesty is the best policy. The old dog for the hard road. Look before you leap. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Rome was not built in a day. Necessity if the mother of invention. Idleness is the mother of want. It's never too late to learn. A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse. Waste not want not. It is an ill wind that does not blow somebody good. Enough is as good as a feast. Fair and easy goes far in the day. Youth is the time to learn. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise. One good turn deserves another. Many hands make short work. Spur not a willing horse. Two wrongs never make a right. A fool and his money are easily parted. A constant drop will wear a rock. A rolling stone gathers no moss. You cannot put an old head on young shoulders.(continues on next page)
