Sorrow comes unsent for. Spare the rod and spoil the child. Spare well and spend well. Speak the truth and shame the devil. Speak well of your friend: of your enemy say nothing.

The sickness of the bcdy may prove the health of the soul. The truth is always the strongest argument. The wife is the key to the house. The way to be safe Is never to feel secure. The young may die, but the old must There are 40 men of wit to one of sense. There is no fire without some smoke. There is no hair so small but hath its shadow. There is no need to fasten a bell to a fool. There is no necessity for proving the existence of light There Is no royal road to learning. There's many a slip 'twlxt the cup and the lip. Tho love Is blind, 'tls not for want of eyes. There is not a moment without some duty. They who play with edge tools must expect to be cut 'Tis not how much but how well we read. Tis not the hen that cackles most that lays the most eggs. To be wise is to know how little can be known. To the discontented man, no chair is easy. Too great a leap falls into the ditch. Too many cooks spoil the broth. True happiness consists in making happy. Two blacks make no whit.'. Two dogs strive for a bone, and a third runa away with It. Two heads are better than one. Two souls with but a single thought; two hearts that beat as one. u T'nbidden guests are the welcomest when they are gone. Unreasonable silence Is folly. Use pastime so as not to lose time. Use sbft words and hard arguments. Use the means and trust to God for the blessing. Use your wit as a buckler and not as a sword. V Vain glory blossoms but never bears. Valor can do little without discretion. Varnishing hides a crack. Venture a small fish to catch a big one. Vice makes virtue shine. Virtue and happiness are Mother and daughter.

When the wind’s in the west, the weather’s at the best. Where bees are. there is honey. Words may pass but blows fall heavy. What’s bred in the bone will never out of the flesh. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Who throws mud at another soils his own hands. Who spares vice wrongs virtue. Y Tears know more than books. You are a good seeker but a very bad finder You bring a bit of wire and take away a bar. You can't judge the horse by the harness. You cannot drive a windmill with a pair of bellows. Your looking glass will tell you what none of your friends will. Your wits are gone a wool-gathering. You dig your grave with your teeth. z Zeal without knowledge Is fire without light. Zeal without knowledge Is the sister of folly.

Least said is soonest mended. Let every herring hang by its own tall. Let him that earns the bread .t it. Let not your tongue run away with your brains. Let sleeping dogs US. Let the cat out of the bag. Liars have short wings. Life and misery began together. Life is a light before the wind. Life is short yet sweet. Like is what we make it. Life would be too smooth if It had no rubs in it. Gxglit y come. Ughtly go. Like dogs that snarl about a bone and play together when they’ve none. \ Likeness is the mother of love. Little between wright and wrong. Little birds may pick a dead lion.

Little wit in the head makes much work for the feet. Live not upon the opinion of other men. Lock the stable door before the steed is etolen. Long absent, soon forgotten. Long-looked-for comes at last. Look higfi and fall low. Look out for the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves. Lookers on see more than players. Lose a leg rather than life.

Money is often lost for want of money. Money is round and meant to roll Money makes not so many true friends as real enemies. Money talks. More haste. w,rse speed. More than enough is too much. Most things have two bandies, a wise mail takes hold of the best. Much coin lies under the straw that la not seen. Much coin, much care. Much would have been more, but often meets with less.
