Reading is to mind what exercise is to the body
Debt is the worst kind of poverty
Seeing is believing.
After a storm comes a calm.
Health is worth more than wealth
He who slings mud is losing ground
Penny wise is often pound foolish
The longest round is the shortest way home.
Possession is eleven points of the law.
Better late than never
For want of destony is want of sense.
Saying and doing are two things
Immodest words admit of no defence.(continues on next page)- Collector
