- (continued from previous page)Cap fit him, cap wear him.
Work is better than talk.
Mind the shillings and pence , and the pounds will mind themselves.
There is no help or cure against death.
The truth is often bitter,
Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird.
Hunger is good sauce.
One good turn deserves another.
Beware the flatterer.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
United we stand, dividied we fall.
Look be-fore you leap.
Be contented with your lot, you are bound to suffer if you are not.
If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.
If you cannot take a joke, don't make a joke.
The biggest bully is often the greatest coward.
Once bitten, twice shy.(continues on next page)- Collector
