  1. (continued from previous page)
    Even a worm will turn.
    A stitch in time saves nine. - Time flies.
    Time or tide waits for no man
    He is as natural to die as to be born.
    God's ways are not our ways.
    Health is better than wealth
    Health is better than Education
    The constant drop fills the ocean
    A rolling stone gathers no moss
    An ounce of sense is worth a pound of gold
    Life is short the longest day you live.
    Life is sweet, Death comes to every one's door
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown
    Closed mouth catches no flies
    Better to be born lucky than rich
    All the months of the year curse a fair February
