    (continued from previous page)
    Many hands make light work.
    Hunger is the best sauce.
    If the cock crows twice in the afternoon death is on it's way.
    You will be better before you are twice married and once a widow.
    Never trouble trouble, until trouble, troubles you.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    A good beginning is half the work.
    A good book is the best friend.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    No matter how long the day, night comes.
