  1. (continued from previous page)
    A fool and his money is easy parted.
    For the want of a nail the shoe is lost
    Love me and the world is mine.
    It is no use closing the barn door when the horse is stolen.
    There is so much badness in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us, to talk of the rest of us.
    Too late to spare when all is spent.
    As you live yourself you judge your neighbours.
    All is right that that ends right and all is wrong that ends wrong
