   (continued from previous page)

   Quiet words are weighty words.
   Rome was not built in a day.
   Save in order to spend wisely.
   Skill is better than strength.
   Teach others by your own example.
   Two heads are better than one.
   Virtue alone is true nobility.
   Violent fires soon burn out.
   Where theres a will theres a way.
   Whats once done cannot be undone.
   When wine is in, with is out.
   Whatever you do do it well.
