    (continued from previous page)
    The more haste the less speed. A place for everything and everything in it's own place. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
    Things done by halves are never done right.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    The nicest part of going away from home is coming back.
    It is easier to lead nine horses to the water than to make one drink.
    Sticks and stones would break your bones but names would never hurt you.
    Its a wise man who carries his coat on a fine day
    Fine bird's make fine flocks.
    All the world is a stage and we are players on it.
    Better alone than in bad company.
    Christmas comes but once a year but when it comes it brings goog cheer.
    A penny wise and pound foolish.
