- (continued from previous page)A good retreat is better than a bad battle.
Always look before you leap.
He who digs a hole for another falls into it himself.
It is not the oldest who die first.
It is a long lane that has no turn
Slow but sure.
Show me a liar and I will show you a rouge.
Let every tub sit on its own bottom
One trouble never comes alone.
Light got, light gone.
Keep ploughing with the bull and he will horn you,
What is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
All is well that ends well.
He who dont fight but runs away lives to fight another day.
Little said is easy mended.
A shut mouth catches no flies.
Little help is worth a lot of sympathy
Self praise is half scandal
Home sweet home, let it be ever so humble, there is no place like home(continues on next page)
