    end.
    Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.
    People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
    Charity begins at home.
    Be wise today, 'tis madness to defer.
    Think twice before you speak once.
    Slow and steady wins the race.
    By degrees the castle is built.
    Ill blows the wind that profieth no man.
    You will find enough of brosna in every wood to burn it.
    There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, so it little behoves us to speak about the rest of us.
