    (continued from previous page)
    Longest way round is the shortest way home.
    Time enough to bid the devil 'Good morrow, when you meet him."
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A shut mouth catches no flies.
    A burned child dreads the fire.
    Don't put of till to morrow what you can do to day.
    A stick in time saves nine.
