  1. Proverbs (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    It is cruel and unprofitable to overwork the willing horse.
    To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
    Bury the hatchet but don't mark the spot.
    Two things are required to write a successful letter - pains and brains.
    Never despise the bridge that carried you over
    Square your shoulders and turn a brave face to the weather.
    More than one man killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
    Borrowing and lending among friends is a calamity.
    Better to be fortunate than rich.
