  1. (continued from previous page)
    you have the high way.
    It's too late to spare when all is spent but its never too late to learn.
    Never believe all you hear.
    Tell me who is your company and I will tell you who you are, If you sleep with the dog you will rise in fleas.
    It's a wise person that minds his own business.
    When you are in a temper sit down, smoke your pipe and when you have smoked the vex is gone.
