- (continued from previous page)Think twice before you speak once.
Look before you leap.
There are two sides to every story.
A liar you can never trust Even though he speaks the truth
Experience keeps a dear school.
Waste not, want not.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
A penny wise and a pound foolish
“Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves.”
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
A feast before a famine.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
He who goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
Better go supperless to bed than rise in debt.
It’s a wise man who carries his coat the fine day.
Little boats keep near shore.(continues on next page)
