- (continued from previous page)Never buy what you don't want because it is cheap.
By mistakes we learn.
A wet and windy May fills the haggard with corn and hay

Take things always by their smooth handle.
Empty vessels make most sound.
There is no place like home.
One man could bring a horse to water but twenty could not make him drink.Laugh and the world will laugh at you.
Weep and you weep alone.Paper will not refuse ink
The life of an old boot is to polish it.
Many the sheep was lost for the want of a box of tar.
Don't put your spoon where there(continues on next page)
