    (continued from previous page)
    Waste not, want not.
    One turn deserves another.
    Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
    Seek first God's blessing, and all things else will follow.
    As you sow, you shall reap.
    The early bird has the early worm.
    Don't hoard too-much, there are no pockets in shrouds
    Speak not ill of the dead.
    A man without learning and wearing fine cloths is like, a gold ring in a fat pig's nose.
    What you think is worse than your death, is perhaps for your good.
    The night is bright the road is fine nevertheless wait till day
