- (continued from previous page)God made the back for the burden
Age is venerable
The longest day has an end
I had my day and Bonny had no more
Think twice before you act once
Look before you leap
He who slights my horse will buy him
Appearances are deceitful or
All that glitters is not gold
Many are called but few are chosen
One good trick is worth ten bad ones
The young should attend to the advice of the aged
It's a long road that there is no turn i it
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever
A fool and his share are easily parted
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them
Fine feathers-fine birds
A willful waste brings a woeful want
If you Have only a goat for sale, be in the middle of the fair
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today
Take each man’s advice but reserve thy judgement
He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing
They have a short Lent who owe money to pay at Easter(continues on next page)
