    (continued from previous page)
    11 Learn to obey that you may know how to command
    12 The mill can never grind with the water that is past
    13 Know something of everything and everything of something
    14 A time for everything and everything in its proper time
    15 A rolling stone gathers no mass.
    16 Be old when young that you may be young when old
    17 Children and fools should not handle edged tools.
    18 Empty vessels make the most sound.
    19 He laughs best who laughs best.
