- A friend is proved in distress.
A covetour man is never in want.
Blessed are the pure in heart.
Be not weary in well doing.
Care and diligence brings look.
Do as you would be done by.
Do you duty come what may.
Empty vessels make most sounds.
Forgive others but not yourself.
Good manners are attractive.
Good works deserve good wages.
He lives twice who does well.
Honest men are easily found.
Youth is time to learn.
Idleness is the key of beggary.
Keep thy own but not what does not.
Light strokes fell great oaks.
Live peacefully with all men.
Many men have many minds.
No noble task is easy.
Nothing succeeds like success.
One good turn deserves another.
Open your hand to the needy.
Prever losses to unjust gains.
Promise little and do much.(continues on next page)
