- (continued from previous page)Tis the thunder that frights but the lightning that smites.
Small leaks sink great ships.
Little strokes fell large oaks.
A straw shows how the wind blows.
Rome was not built in a day.
A little pot is soon hot.
It's a long lane that has no turning.
A ship dreads fire more than water.
Far away cows wear long horns.
Courage is half the battle of life.

Wilful waste make woeful want.
It is never too late to learn.(continues on next page)
