(continued from previous page)
It's too late to spare when all is spent. A clear concience fears no accusation. Strike the iron when it is hot. It is not the big stones alone that build a castle.

Around here there are many old proverbs quoted by the people. Some of these are :
A Stitch in time saves nine.
The eyes of the fool are on the ends of the earth.
Better late than never.
Mind the shop and the shop will mind thee.
Old saying is a true one.
Willful waste makes woful want.
You cant put a old head on young shoulders.
