- (continued from previous page)a settle-bed.
The fire place was always at the gable of the house. It was never in the corner or against the side wall.
Most of the old people heard of houses without chimnies. There are no account of houses that had not glass windows.
- A stitch in time saves nine.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Its better late than never.
The more hurry the less speed.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A shut mouth catches no flies.
Honesty is the best policy.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
Make new friends and keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold. - Collector
