- (continued from previous page)the master of others.
If it was a thing that money could buy, the rich would live and the poor would die.
Do to others as you would wish them to do to you.
The innocent suffer for the guilty.
God helps those who helps themselves and God help those who are caught helping themselves.
It is a long road that has no turn.
Too far East is West.
There is never smoke without a fire.
A penny wise and a pound foolish.
A half loaf is better than no bread.
A half burned turf is easy kindled.
A new broom sweeps clean, but the old one knows the corners best.
The darkest hour is the one before dawn.
All is well that end well.
Think twice before you speak once.
One swallow makes no Summer.
Time and tide waits for no man.
The early bird catches the early worm.
It is never too late to mend.
Better late than never.(continues on next page)
