  1. Proverbs (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Injure not anothers reputation or business.
    Perseverance overcomes difficulties.
    No bad man can be happy.
    Opinion governs the world.
    Know how sublime a thing it is to suffer.
    He that has a trade has an estate.
    A heavy purse makes a light heart.
    Rolling stones gather no moss
    Happy is the corpse that the rain rains on, happy is the bride that the sun shines on.
    You couldn't take wool of a goat.
    Every cloud has a silver lining.
    Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    Rome was not built up in a day.
    Look before you leap
    Little wealth, little care.
    Take the ball at the hop.
