- (continued from previous page)Walls have ears.
Laziness is a heavy load.
Learning is no load.
Distant hills are green.
It is better to bend than to break.
One penny makes another.
Buy a bad thing and you have nothing.
If the 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.
Two shorten the road.
Yawning is a taking complaint.
Have it yourself or do without it.
There is no hearth like your own.
A new brush sweeps clean.
Never judge the book by the cover.
You must creep before you walk.
Even a hen is heavy if you carry it a long way.
All that glitters is not gold.
Don't put in your shovel where there is no coal.
Strike the iron when it is hot.
Eat all and pocket none.
It is a rocky road to heaven.
It takes two to make a row.
Far-away cows have long horns.(continues on next page)- Collector
