    (continued from previous page)
    There are good good's in small parcels.
    Waste not, want not.
    Honesty is the best policy.
    When the cat is away the mice can play.
    The heaviest car "of corn" bends the lowest.
    Winter's thunder is the worlds wonder.
    Put a beggar on horse back and
    he will lead you to the d___.
    What can we expect from a
    pig but a grunt.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.
