    (continued from previous page)
    He who slings mud is losing ground.
    Man proposes but God disposes
    Where there is a will there is a way.
    Time and tide wait for no man.
    You cannot make a hunter out of an ass
    You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
    You cannot take a cuckoo out of a goose egg
    An egg today is worth an ox tomorrow.
