- (continued from previous page)Choose your company before you choose your pleasure.
It is long road that has no turning.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Look before you leap.
Little by little castles are built.
Walls have ears.
Rome was never built in a day.
Far away hills are green.
Far away cows have long horns.
Don't put in your shovel where there is no coal.
Yawning is a taking complaint.
One penny makes another.
Laziness is a heavy load.
It is better to bend than to break.
Buy a bad thing and you have nothing.
If your cap fits you wear it.
Don't put off for to-morrow what you can do to-day.
What is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
Better late than never.
Have it yourself or do without it.
There is no hearth like your own.(continues on next page)
