    (continued from previous page)
    health is better than wealth
    There's no place like home
    A stitch in time saves nine
    What is seldom is wonderful
    Better late than never
    Tis bad for the hen that doesn't scrape for herself
    An how morning is better than two in the evening
    Time enough lost the ducks
    Dont catch hola [?] on the first story.
