    (continued from previous page)
    Little dogs start the hare but great ones catch it,
    Fools learn nothing from wise men but wise men learn much from fools,
    It is better to lie alone than in bad company,
    Little help is better than alot of pity,
    Great barkers seldom bite,
    It is never too late to mend.
