- (continued from previous page)"Waste not want not, is a lesson I would teach,
Let your watch-word be dispatch,
And practise what you preach,
Never let your chances,
Like a sunbeam pass you by,
You will never miss the water
Till the well runs dry."
- 4. Too late to spare when all is spent.
Think twice before you speak once.
There is no fire like your own.
A good name is better than great riches.
The early bird catches the worm.
The darkest hour is just before the dawn.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
Don't put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
A burned child dreads the fire.
